CUSTOM GAME ENGINES: A Small Study

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 or Unity for their games (or that's what lot of people think) because d

	# MOTIVATION: As rails apps are growing, people are noticing the drawbacks
	# of the ActiveRecord pattern. Several apps I have seen, and several
	# developers I have spoken to are looking towards other patterns for object
	# persistence. The major drawback with ActiveRecord is that the notion
	# of the domain object is conflated with what it means to store/retrieve
	# it in any given format (like sql, json, key/value, etc).
	#
	# This is an attempt to codify the Repository pattern in a way that would
	# feel comfortable to beginner and seasoned Ruby developers alike.
