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

Why do you prefer [Borg] over [git-lfs]/[git-annex]?

• GitHub LFS has a 2GB limit on file size. This never works with large projects like video productions.

(* This is a short example of bindings of `chrome-launcher` and `chrome-remote-interface`
   (for node libraries manipulating headless-mode Google Chrome) in OCaml BuckleScript (https://bucklescript.github.io/).

   Usage:
     $ npm install -g chrome-launcher chrome-remote-interface
     $ bsc -bs-main bucklescript_headless_chrome.ml
   Headless browsers (such as PhantomJS, Chrome, Firefox) are useful for, e.g.,

   - integration tests of JavaScript products on a real browser, or
   - Web scraping for pages containing complex JavaScript.

Story: Writing Scripts with Go

This is a story about how I tried to use Go for scripting. In this story, I’ll discuss the need for a Go script, how we would expect it to behave and the possible implementations; During the discussion I’ll deep dive to scripts, shells, and shebangs. Finally, we’ll discuss solutions that will make Go scripts work.

Why Go is good for scripting?

While python and bash are popular scripting languages, C, C++ and Java are not used for scripts at all, and some languages are somewhere in between.
