At Raven Sun Creative, we’re in the midst of several collaborations where game engines form the basis for our entire production. However, I would submit that there are a number of compelling reasons everyone in LBE should be paying attention to game engines. The word “game” in game engines trips some people up. Game engines are powerful multi-purpose toolkitsPrior to the introduction of game engines in the 1990s, developers needed to rebuild every scrap of game infrastructure from the ground up with each new title. The game engine democratized game development by making it accessible to indie developers as well as those without large teams or deep programming knowledge.
