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:

	(comment ; Fun with transducers, v2

	;; Still haven't found a brief + approachable overview of Clojure 1.7's new
	;; transducers in the particular way I would have preferred myself - so here goes:

	;;;; Definitions
	;; Looking at the `reduce` docstring, we can define a 'reducing-fn' as:
	(fn reducing-fn ([]) ([accumulation next-input])) -> new-accumulation
	;; (The `[]` arity is actually optional; it's only used when calling
	;; `reduce` w/o an init-accumulator).
