Guerilla Games Co-Founder Arjan Brussee Launches European Game Engine
Arjan Brussee, co-founder of Guerilla Games and former technical director at Epic Games, is on a mission to create a new game engine that serves as a ‘European alternative’ to dominant American and Chinese technologies like Unreal Engine and Unity. His new venture, dubbed ‘The Immense Engine’, aims to provide a platform that not only meets the needs of game developers but also complies with European regulations and guidelines.
Brussee emphasizes the importance of creating usable 3D worlds for various applications beyond gaming, such as defense and logistics. He believes that the integration of AI into the development process can revolutionize how game engines are built, allowing for more efficient workflows and innovative features. As he puts it, with the right framework of AI agents, one can achieve the productivity of ten or more people.
As the gaming industry continues to evolve, the emergence of a European-centric game engine could reshape the landscape, offering developers a fresh perspective and new tools. Will ‘The Immense Engine’ pave the way for a new era in game development?
