I can’t say, but keep in mind that there are plenty of examples of indie games that used a custom engine and went on to be highly successful. It could be that those games would have been just as successful with an off-the-shelf engine, but perhaps there is something to be said for the DIY approach.
- marcus_holmes 8y agoWatch out for survivor bias on this, though. How many games never made it to release because they bit off more than they could chew building the engine? How many of those could have been successful if they had used a commercial engine? We only hear about the successes in either camp. To get an accurate picture, we'd need to look at all the attempts.
