Wojciech Figat

Wojciech Figat is an independent Polish developer whose single-product catalog, Flax, positions itself as a lightweight yet high-fidelity game engine built for teams that want AAA-class visuals without the bureaucratic weight of larger toolchains. Written in C++ and C# with a modern .NET host, Flax targets Windows, Linux, macOS, Xbox, PlayStation, Android and iOS from one unified editor, delivering a data-oriented ECS, full PBR deferred/forward+ renderer with ray tracing, live C# hot-reload, visual scripting, and an extensible C++ API that stays open-source under a permissive license. Typical use cases span indie 3-D action titles, architectural walkthroughs, automotive simulators, VR training apps and rapid prototyping jams where iteration speed is critical; the engine’s modular architecture also appeals to academic researchers who need to modify the low-level pipeline or experiment with custom GPU compute passes. Content creators import FBX, glTF, USD and Blender files through a drag-and-drop pipeline, iterate on materials with node graphs, profile GPU timings in-frame, and then package a project into a 40-MB runtime that boots in under a second. While still a one-man project, Flax is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget that always fetch the latest official build and allow batch installation alongside other development tools.
