CUSTOM GAME ENGINES: A Small Study

WARNING: Article moved to separate repo to allow users contributions: https://github.com/raysan5/custom_game_engines

A couple of weeks ago I played (and finished) A Plague Tale, a game by Asobo Studio. I was really captivated by the game, not only by the beautiful graphics but also by the story and the locations in the game. I decided to investigate a bit about the game tech and I was surprised to see it was developed with a custom engine by a relatively small studio. I know there are some companies using custom engines but it's very difficult to find a detailed market study with that kind of information curated and updated. So this article.

Nowadays lots of companies choose engines like [Unreal](https:

	import bytes from '../../vendor/bytes/index.js'
	const MAX_WIDTH = 600
	const MAX_HEIGHT = 600
	const { createFFmpeg, fetchFile } = FFmpeg
	let ffmpeg

	export async function compressAndGetThumb (file, maxVideoSize, progressCb) {
	const objectUrl = URL.createObjectURL(file)
	const videoEl = document.createElement('video')
	videoEl.addEventListener('error', console.log)
