MegaLights are live in Fortnite now! Epic has not officially mentioned it, but in today's video I'll show you why I'm pretty sure they are already active today

🎮 Ah, the dream of creating games without coding—because who needs to understand what they're doing when they can just haphazardly drag and drop pretty shapes? 😏 Play Maker: the Fisher-Price of game engines, boasting it's 50x easier than Unity for those allergic to actual skill. 🙄

This week in Game Engines #18! https://enginesdatabase.com/blog/this-week-in-game-engines-18/
This week we got an article on the first in-house game developed by Unity, Valorant using Unreal Engine 5, a REALLY cool planetary Minecraft tech-demo, and much more!
In practice, the most effective game engines are often moddable games. Unlike traditional engines, they already implement core systems—AI, physics, maps, behaviors—so developers only need to define content instead of implementing it from scratch. A clear example is GZDoom, whose modding framework enables the creation of fully standalone games.

🎉 Happy birthday #Quake! On June 22, 1996, id Software launched Quake — the first full-3D shooter using the #QuakeEngine. Unlike 2D-sprite-based games, Quake featured fully 3D environments, dynamic lighting, and Lightmaps.
#HalfLife and #CounterStrike are built on the Quake engine — making it a milestone in multiplayer #FPS history. Earlier, #Doom (1993) set the stage with groundbreaking 3D visuals, network play, and the birth of #Deathmatch.
The evolution continued with #idTech2 through #idTech5 powering games like #Doom3 and #Rage. Developer #JohnCarmack was the technical genius behind id’s engines before moving to #Oculus.
Which #idTech-based games do you remember?

From our experience Godot is a nice boi to use, Gdevelop is nice for juniors, annoying for senior dev and in general if you are specific about your game and unity is a shady friend.
What is your experience with games engines? Have you tried GBstudio? UnrealEngine maybe? WE WANNA KNOW

🚀🎮 Oh look, another "production-ready" game engine that promises to deliver infinite levels of gaming bliss with zero setup! Just download and bask in the glory of its infinite features, because who #needs documentation when you have endless buzzwords? 😂🙄

For example, imagine id Tech 6 being used to power #Starfield.
- You would need to create the modules to handle quests, open world, rework the rendering pipeline, add inventory, branching paths, etc.
- You would have to create tools to push content to these modules.
- You would need to retrain your workforce to use these tools.
Or you don't and stick with #CreationEngine

Having a week long vacation to empty the brain from ordinary-life noise and plan Tofu Engine’s future. :)
Nice ideas are flowing, but most of all some parts can be reworked for improvement!
If #GameEngines were boys #UnrealEngine would be the hard-to-get guy with much outer beauty.
#Unity would be the seemingly sweet but increasingly manipulative boy.
And #Godot would just go to do his own shit

Looking forward to reconnecting with old friends and making new ones at the Esri UK Annual Conference tomorrow! I'm always open to a discussion about #3DGIS, #urban and #rural #digitaltwin and of course #CityEngine. GD3D® is helping local authorities and private clients with project support and knowledge transfer to create digital twins for #geospatial and #gameengines. #planning #architecture #geodesign #unrealengine #twinmotion #procedural
#VideoGames #GameEngines #Physics #SImulation: "A key part of many game engines is the physics engine, which mathematically models everything we’ve learned about the physical world. A strong wind can be simulated using velocity. An animated bubble might take into account surface tension. Last year, Epic released Lego Fortnite, a family-friendly mode in which players can build—and destroy with dynamite—their own Lego constructions. The game is cartoonish, but its mechanics are grounded in reality. “When the building falls, everybody knows what that’s supposed to look like,” Saxs Persson, an executive at Epic, told me. “It looks good because they got the mass right.
They got the collision volumes right. They got the gravity right. They got friction, which is really hard. They got wind, terrain. All of it has to be perfect.” Even the precise tension of pulling Legos apart, a common muscle memory, has been simulated. “It’s all math,” he said.
Yet certain things remain hard to simulate. There are multiple types of water renderers—an ocean demands a kind of simulation different from that of a river or a swimming pool—but buoyancy is challenging, as are waves and currents."
