A small state-of-the-art study on custom engines

CUSTOM GAME ENGINES: A Small Study

a_plague_tale

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:

List of open source, self hosted BaaS - Backend as a service

Backend as a Service

Note on sizes: a lot of those might be inaccurate as there might be many microservices required aside from the core release/docker image. I haven't tested these recently so I'm not sure

Supabase - ~94.9K stars

  • Designed explicitly as an open source Firebase alternative
  • Typescript based
  • Docker support
  • Full Postgres database with Realtime subscriptions

My setup guide for installing Cgywin, Mintty, Cmder, and ZSH.

What's this?

Instructions to obtain ZSH on a windows environment, without the input funny business presented by some other attempted solutions.

The final result is ZSH running on a mintty terminal, emulated by cygwin, and being handled by the popular cmder.

Why is this here?

For the benefit of myself and others. I've already followed these instructions twice. It took me hours to figure all this out, maybe someone else can save a few.

What exactly is covered?

  • Installing and setting up cmder

etcd vs consul vs ???
  • What do Etcd, Consul, and Zookeeper do?
    • Service Registration:
      • Host, port number, and sometimes authentication credentials, protocols, versions numbers, and/or environment details.
    • Service Discovery:
      • Ability for client application to query the central registry to learn of service location.
    • Consistent and durable general-purpose K/V store across distributed system.
      • Some solutions support this better than others.
      • Based on Paxos or some derivative (i.e. Raft) algorithm to quickly converge to a consistent state.
  • Centralized locking can be based on this K/V store.
