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:

Effective Modern CMake

Effective Modern CMake

Getting Started

For a brief user-level introduction to CMake, watch C++ Weekly, Episode 78, Intro to CMake by Jason Turner. LLVM’s CMake Primer provides a good high-level introduction to the CMake syntax. Go read it now.

After that, watch Mathieu Ropert’s CppCon 2017 talk Using Modern CMake Patterns to Enforce a Good Modular Design (slides). It provides a thorough explanation of what modern CMake is and why it is so much better than “old school” CMake. The modular design ideas in this talk are based on the book [Large-Scale C++ Software Design](https://www.amazon.de/Large-Scale-Soft

D_GGX in mediump/half float

float D_GGX(float linearRoughness, float NoH, const vec3 h) {
// Walter et al. 2007, "Microfacet Models for Refraction through Rough Surfaces"
// In mediump, there are two problems computing 1.0 - NoH^2
// 1) 1.0 - NoH^2 suffers floating point cancellation when NoH^2 is close to 1 (highlights)
// 2) NoH doesn't have enough precision around 1.0
// Both problem can be fixed by computing 1-NoH^2 in highp and providing NoH in highp as well
// However, we can do better using Lagrange's identity:
