Comment on Anon is a game dev
Valmond@lemmy.world 2 days agoIs it though? I mean big companies most probably tweak whatever engine they use too, and the whole game is closed source, so company specific stuff is obiqutous to say the least.
Good points otherwise IMO.

yes, but tweaking whatever engine they have, still uses a lot of the underlying engines code, which more freemarket devs will use. There’s a huge reason why a lot of the companies who build engines in house are in japan, because labor laws in japan makes it so developer retention is usually very high.
Kojima and fox engine is an example of a well designed and optimized engine, but konami didn’t like it because of how much millions kojima spent developing both it and MGS5 hence the bad blood between them
