Our History: 15 Years of Illumination
From a small Yogyakarta startup to a global visual technology leader.
2009: The Spark
Founded in a rented garage in Yogyakarta by three university friends obsessed with real-time rendering. Our first project was a particle physics simulation that didn't ship, but the code became the foundation for our engine.
2012: First Mobile Hit
"Neon Racer" launched on iOS, utilizing our proprietary lightweight renderer. It hit 500k downloads in three months, validating our minimalist code approach and allowing us to expand the team to 12 developers.
2015: The Pivot
We shifted focus from game publishing to engine licensing. The "Hayinete Core" was born, offering indie studios the visual fidelity of AAA titles without the overhead.
2018: Neon Breakthrough
Release of the "Lumina" post-processing stack. This proprietary tech created the signature Hayinete aesthetic—volumetric glow, ray-marched reflections—now used in over 200 commercial titles.
2021: Global Expansion
Opened our second studio in Austin, Texas. Partnered with major hardware manufacturers to optimize our engine for next-gen VR headsets and mobile ray tracing.
2024: The 15th Anniversary Engine
Launching the Hayinete 15th Anniversary Edition. A complete rewrite of the core, featuring AI-assisted asset optimization and a $2399 free offer for indie teams to celebrate our journey.
Our Mission
Our philosophy is "Minimalist Code, Maximalist Visuals". Every line of our engine is optimized for performance and clarity. We don't chase trends; we build tools that let creators focus on their art. From our headquarters in Yogyakarta, we support a community of over 15,000 developers worldwide who are pushing the boundaries of what's possible on screens of every size.

Hayinete 15th Anniversary Field Guide
A practical breakdown of our 15-year methodology for indie developers looking to integrate our engine or understand our visual philosophy.
1. The "Lumina" Principle
Light is information. Our engine calculates bounce lighting in real-time, but only for what the camera sees. This saves 40% GPU overhead compared to traditional rasterization. Why it matters: You can run cinematic visuals on mobile hardware.
2. Asset Discipline
We enforce a strict polygon budget per scene based on target FPS. The 15th Anniversary update adds AI-driven LOD (Level of Detail) that transitions imperceptibly. Decision Point: Choose "Aggressive" mode for VR, "Balanced" for mobile.
3. Post-Processing Stack
Avoid layering 5+ post-fx passes. Our "Baked Chain" technology combines bloom, chromatic aberration, and grain into a single shader pass. Common Mistake: Using separate blur passes. Use our combined Gaussian function.
Myth vs. Fact
- MYTH: High fidelity requires expensive hardware.
- FACT: Hayinete's culling algorithm runs 30% faster on integrated graphics than competitors do on discrete cards.
- MYTH: Visual style means heavy assets.
- FACT: Our signature neon look relies on procedural shaders, not texture memory. Total VRAM usage: under 200MB.
Mini-Glossary
Volume rendering technique for glow effects.
Seamless geometry transition system.
Single-pass post-processing pipeline.
Proprietary color grading profile (Deep Blacks).
⚠️ Developer Warning
Do not override the native anti-aliasing with external post-processes. This conflicts with our temporal reconstruction and causes "ghosting" artifacts in high-motion scenes.
How It Works: The 15th Anniversary Workflow
Define & Constraint
Set target platform (Mobile/VR/PC) and FPS budget. Our wizard generates a config file based on your hardware profile.
Approach & Validate
Select "Lumina" or "Classic" visual stack. Run the 15th Anniversary simulator to validate performance metrics before writing code.
Apply Method
Integrate the engine DLL. Use the "Dark Canvas" scene editor to drag-and-drop assets. Our AI optimizer auto-tunes shader complexity.
Review & Ship
Compile the 15th Anniversary build. Our global CDN distributes optimized binaries to your beta testers in under 5 minutes.
Includes $2399 engine access free for qualified teams
The Neon Renaissance
15 years ago, we pioneered a look that defined a generation. The "Hayinete Style"—deep blacks, sharp neon lines, volumetric fog—was born from necessity. We couldn't afford expensive textures, so we wrote smarter shaders. That constraint became our signature.
- Ray-marched glow effects in real-time
- Procedural grids and grids as texture
- Temporal anti-aliasing with zero ghosting
