So... exactly the same situation the Unreal engine was in, before its current open-licensing model starting with UE3?
replyI hear a lot of good things about modern idTech. Pervasive multithreading is one, and it's not particular to the FPS genre.
Your first statement is wrong. The new Indiana jones game is not an FPS and it uses the same engine
replyI'm not wrong they forked the engine and it's the same studio that worked with the same engine before, id tech is made for fps it's clear.
replyA lot of unreal engine games also fork the engine. If your bar is being forked then unreal doesn’t meet the bar for a lot of people either.
reply3D Engines of that fidelity are rarely genre specific. Editors might be but the engines are often fairly flexible because most genres share a lot in 3D space.
