It seems like because there's so much custom code, rather than editor features, the author might as well use a rendering library instead of the engine.

- xena 3y agoThey do use a rendering library. It's called "Unity".
- evrimoztamur 3y agoWhen you want to build games for many platforms at once, dealing with platform-specific rendering, sound, and input code just becomes tiring. Having an engine at the base gives you these for free (or at a cost, with Unity).
- chii 3y agothat's what a rendering framework does for you. A game engine is much more - it includes systems like physics, game object representations (like unity's sort-of-ECS), save/load, animations etc.
- slikrick 3y agono, a rendering engine just handles rendering, they listed multiple other things. don't conflate your definition to mean more than it actually literally does. using game engine's builtins for the things you don't want to abstract yourself makes complete sense, keep the game to "game logic"
