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:

	/// minimal example of adding a custom render pipeline in bevy 0.11.
	///
	/// When this example runs, you should only see a blue screen. There are no
	/// vertex buffers, or anything else in this example. Effectively it is
	/// shader-toy written in bevy.
	///
	/// This revision adds a post-processing node to the RenderGraph to
	/// execute the shader. Thanks to @Jasmine on the bevy discord for
	/// suggesting I take a second look at the bevy post-processing example
