Choosing the Right Game Engine for Your Project

You have a brilliant idea for a game! That’s great, but now you need a game engine to realize your masterpiece. Fortunately, there are plenty of options out there nowadays to make that happen since there are so many game engines to choose from. Free, or paid. The first question you need to ask yourself is which program would be best to create the game just as you have envisioned. I’m not going…

Far Cry (2004)

" If at first you succeed, cry, cry again! "

Surge Magazine n04 - Fall, 2004(?).

Not really sure when this specific issue was released, it says 'Fall 2004' right on the cover; but one of my previous posts (Surge Magazine n01) completely contradicts this information… If you have any indication of this issue's original release, please, either send me a message or send it through my fan submissions' tab!

Crysis was really one of the games of all time.

I played through the remastered release on PS5 and have some thoughts.

The obvious one is the back half of the game stinks.

The first half is great. Tight, controlled experiences with a balanced set of tools. Later Cry games have completely failed to live up to the tension present in Crysis. It works because the open world isn’t really that open, but is just enough to feel like a huge, sprawling island. Not only this, but the enemy encounters are intentional and crafted. These days the game throws together an “outpost” with stupid enemies and alarms and whatever that’s easy as hell to assault because ammunition is everywhere for OP guns. Crysis, though, even with the nanosuit, is really challenging, and requires careful play throughout.

It has the same jank from the original release, like some weird bugs and weird checkpoints, but it remains, I think, the best Cry game at saying “here’s a position, take care of it.”

The North Koreans are pretty smart and hit hard. Even armor mode won’t save the player from poor planning. Modern Cry games are so easy. Every outpost can be cheesed without even trying. There’s just so much extra garbage, too, which isn’t really the subject here because Crysis isn’t an action RPG but I think my point is that this kind of linear design works really well and it falls apart under the weight of “Open World” expectations.

Of course once the aliens show up it becomes a real slog. The player is slow and it’s hard to look up, so suddenly these aliens can hover above the player and just hammer away, and the cloak tool becomes just worthless. The final boss(es) aren’t fun (and I had to restart the entire last level to get the exosuit to spawn and fuuuuuuck it sucks).

In all, I wish linear storytelling in big games would make a comeback, because open world collectathons and “survival crafting” isn’t working.

Will I play Crysis 2 again? It was my favorite of the series (from what I remember). Maybe. But first I’m trying the newest Ratchet and Clank game

KJ's Island

This was a senior project that I chose for myself in college. In retrospect, my efforts would have been better spent on a smaller project. The overall scope and ambition was just too much for a game design student who was just starting out in 3D modeling.

Still, I learned some very valuable life lessons in the process. This is the reason why I like to keep this project around.

Game Development Engines: Which One Should You Choose?

Choosing the right game development engine is one of the most crucial decisions a developer can make. The engine you select can shape your game’s performance, flexibility, and even its success. With so many options available today, it can be challenging to know where to begin. This guide breaks down the top game engines and helps you decide which one suits your project best.

Unity

Unity is one of the most popular and beginner-friendly engines available. It supports both 2D and 3D development and has a massive asset store that provides ready-made components to speed up development. Unity uses C# as its primary scripting language and is well-suited for mobile, PC, console, and even VR/AR games. Its active community and extensive tutorials make it a solid choice for newcomers and pros alike.

Best for: Indie developers, mobile games, and VR projects.

Unreal Engine

Unreal Engine is renowned for its high-quality graphics and robust performance. It’s widely used in AAA game development and is powered by C++. Unreal’s Blueprint system allows developers to create complex game logic without writing code, making it accessible to non-programmers too. Its photorealistic rendering and flexible tools make it ideal for projects that demand top-tier visuals.

Best for: High-end PC and console games, cinematic experiences, and VR.

Godot

Godot is an open-source engine that’s rapidly gaining popularity. It supports both 2D and 3D development and has its own scripting language, GDScript, which is easy to learn. One of Godot’s biggest strengths is its lightweight nature and customizable architecture. Plus, being open-source means you can tweak the engine itself if needed.

Best for: Indie developers, 2D games, and those on a tight budget.

GameMaker Studio

GameMaker Studio is known for its simplicity and focus on 2D games. With its drag-and-drop interface and GameMaker Language (GML), it allows rapid development even for those with minimal coding experience. It’s been used to create successful indie titles like Undertale and Hyper Light Drifter.

Best for: 2D indie games and rapid prototyping.

CryEngine

CryEngine is a powerful engine known for stunning visuals and complex environments. Although it has a steeper learning curve, its rendering capabilities are unmatched for developers aiming for photorealistic worlds.

Best for: AAA games, open-world projects, and high-fidelity simulations.

How to Choose?

Your choice of game development engine should depend on:

The type of game (2D vs. 3D)

Your skill level (beginner vs. advanced)

Platform targets (mobile, PC, console, VR)

Budget and resources

Always try building a small prototype in different engines to see which one feels right for your workflow.

grabbing rise of lyric with my fangs. like sure whatever it was probably for the better for sega to intervene with some aspects of the development like having the characters' designs be less stylized and wacky and stick a bit closer to their original looks, but the micromanaging and insistence on a more typical sonic experience is what kills me bad. ignoring the fact the game came out on a console that wasn't designed to run shit made with that particular version of the cryengine (if it could run any cryengine games for that matter) which was ultimately why rol ended up like that, it presented a wonderful opportunity to innovate on sonic games and introduce Something New to the mix that hadn't been done in the big releases since unleashed. had boom been successful and become the funny side franchise sega decided they wanted it to be, they could have had games that did not Need to stick to the boost formula or whatever the Thing in the mainline games has to be. they could have had games that people who typically don't go for fast-paced action platformers (like me!) would be more willing to pick up as their first sonic game, which could later lead them to try some of the other games as well. instead they insist that a game that was conceptualized as a 4-player co-op experience and built around this idea needs more speed sections which feels like something that inherently clashes with the idea of co-op play with multiple people anyway and might not be the part that anyone would remember most fondly about such experience. and then they put it on the wii u. and then they make it a franchise thing and give the reigns of it to some cartoon writers who know nothing but the basics about the game they're supposed to make a cartoon about.

laying down in a puddle cradling rise of lyric in my arms and falsely trying to assure it that everything's okay when it very much isn't and the world did my darling so fucking dirty
