As they say "It’s not meant to be scientific, but hopefully it can spark some discussion!" and it offers an interesting look at the sales numbers, and lists most of them so you can look at them for yourself. Not saying it's great, but it's interesting.

Welcome to This week in Game Engines! This is a recurrent digest on gamedev news and articles from the week before.

This format of weekly news was greatly inspired by This week in Rust. Most of the content is automatically added to the post via official RSS feeds from Game Engines websites, and miscellaneous gamedev content is hand-picked from suggestions and news aggregators such as hackernews, lobste.rs and gamedev.city.

This week we have a 001 Game Creator showcase, updates from Castle Engine, Armory3D and Unreal, plenty of game rendering articles, and much more!

I'm working on a small project that I hope to be able to share soon. I created a game engine for point-and-click adventure games and I'm working on three different games for it. Two are near completion, the final one is just getting started. I plan on sharing this (on Lemmy and elsewhere) once the last game is ready.

Now, I am an English speaker and have little insight from the outside world. The game engine does not support translation/localization at all.

  • I'm somewhat interested in adding this as it means more people could potentially play these games.
  • I'm worried that adding it will open up a can of worms in my code (long story short, I'm worried translated text will have issues in the menu/UI, overflow, look bad, etc.).

So for the non-native English speakers especially, how important is this to you? Do you expect smaller indie games to play in English or in your native language?
