CS:Lite

This past week, I've been working on CSLite - a competitive, tactical shooter inspired by Counter-Strike, but optimised for low-end pcs. It has low-poly, colorful, cartoony visuals like TF2 that would run even on the oldest Thinkpad laptop from 2006, while still keeping that tight, precise, and responsive feel everyone loved in classic CS games- especially before the CS2 update that- lets be real- kinda killed the performance.

As someone who owns a dusty old DELL desktop with Intel HD graphics, I know what it's like getting 10 FPS on cs2, even on the lowest settings. CSLite is my answer to that. Finally, a lightweight CS inspired game built for low-end PCs, ON a low-end PC! 🙌

CSLite will feature:

• CS-style movement, timed to the millisecond
• Snappy counter-strafing and smooth bunnyhopping with air-strafing
• All the classic CS weapons with accurate recoil, damage, spread, etc
• Low poly yet fun and colorful visuals that look good without frying your PC
• A custom-made engine so optimized it could even run on a toaster, with fully tweakable graphics settings for the ultimate potato-friendly experience

So far, I’ve finished writing my fully custom physics engine, with collision handling and CS-style movement including strafing, counter-strafing, and even bhopping and air-strafing.

Still very early, but i'd love to know what you guys think. I'll be posting updates on my progress with screenshots, videos, graphs, benchmarks and code snippets along the way on my devlog.
