    CUSTOM GAME ENGINES: A Small Study


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 or Unity for their games (or that's what lot of people think) because d

    So you want to modify the text of a PDF by hand...

If you, like me, resent every dollar spent on commercial PDF tools,
you might want to know how to change the text content of a PDF without
having to pay for Adobe Acrobat or another PDF tool. I didn't see an
obvious open-source tool that lets you dig into PDF internals, but I
did discover a few useful facts about how PDFs are structured that
I think may prove useful to others (or myself) in the future. They
are recorded here. They are surely not universally applicable --

the PDF standard is truly Byzantine -- but they worked for my case.
