Which game engine is this made in??

[Terapi]

I'm just curios to know what game engine this is made in :P It doesn't really look like any Unreal engine's so i'm gonna guess it's made in maybe Unity?

It’s Ogre with custom plugin and bullet.
We added so much on top that it’s basically our own engine at this point.

While you are here can you finally add Sub forums. Sorry to go off topic but things are a mess.

Woo, wasn't expecting a response directly from the Dev team!

I don't suppose looking into what Ogre is would really give away much in the line of 'secrets' on how the game works, huh? lol

There is no way in hell a regular (or even premium) FPS physics engine would be fit for a physics simulation game. So many corners are cut, and objects set into templates that it just wouldn't fit well for Scrap Mechanic at all.

I doubted this was made in Unity, since Besieged is in Unity and just didn't have the same... idk, 'feel' to it. Also I saw someone else talk about Ogre, so yeah...

I guess someone failed their will save vs 'making nagging comment' lol

I was tempted to add a few things as well, but (barely) managed to stop myself.

They use bullet physics for you know the physics. I have never heard of it before this game so this must be its first major use.

If bullet physics is anything like I imagine it (which I doubt, since this is a wild ass guess), I hope they fix it up and impliment more of it, since much of the high speed stuff tends to just glitch through things and just not work very well at all.


I'm assuming it calculates out some of the important details between normal frames of physics, so it better preserves 'reality'. Without it, things going fast enough could seemingly zoom through eachother, because the system 'blinked' at the event the collision should have happened, and in-turn didn't calculate it out.

Glitch through? That is an easy fix if I think I know what the bug is. They just need to increase the update rate for objects. Objects are updated every so many times a second in the world on their current placement. KSP has this same problem. Getting two things to smash into enough in orbit is near impossble.

[MechWarden]

Not as much now as it apparently was earlier, but some unavoidably high speed things can still can slip by some tight physics refresh rate.

You can't just jack up the refresh rates without causing problems elsewhere, so they can't change the calculation rates too much unless some else gets modified.

At least basic impact calculations are solid. Had a glitched out pipe fling straight up on me when I detached it, and after giving up on looking for it I heard it thud onto the ground near by. Wish I knew were it was in mid air. That had to have been the fastest object I've almost ran into, yet.

Why even bother bumping this thread? I've clearly gotten the correct answer already. It's pretty obvious that it's not unreal engine.

all i know is the language they used is lua
