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:

Index

This list is an attempt to collect as many free resources about computer graphics- / rendering- techniques, game- / render-engine architecture and optimization techniques. This list doesn't contain every resource that is out there so it'll be expanded in time whenever I find another resource that may help one person or the other.

Awesome-Selfhosted

Self-hosting is the practice of locally hosting and managing applications instead of renting from SaaSS providers.

This is a list of Free Software network services and web applications which can be hosted locally. Non-Free software is listed on the Non-Free page.

See Contributing.

To read and write code that contains Georgian and/or Armenian characters, a combination of any preferred typeface with fallback DejaVu Sans Mono can be used.

For example, in VS Code settings.json:

{
    "editor.fontFamily": "'JetBrains Mono', 'DejaVu Sans Mono'"
}

HDR Output

This is an overview of HDR output support on different platforms.

DXGI

Windows 10 Creators Update added native HDR support to DXGI:

must be enabled for display in Settings
requires flip-mode swap chain

	outputReport[1] = 0xff; // flags determiing what changes this packet will perform
	// 0x01 set the main motors (also requires flag 0x02); setting this by itself will allow rumble to gracefully terminate and then re-enable audio haptics, whereas not setting it will kill the rumble instantly and re-enable audio haptics.
	// 0x02 set the main motors (also requires flag 0x01; without bit 0x01 motors are allowed to time out without re-enabling audio haptics)
	// 0x04 set the right trigger motor
