Russia is looking into creating its own national game engine
) states that"a number of major players in the Russian IT market including VK" [Russia's own Facebook alternative] are currently in talks with the Ministry of Digital Development to create a"domestic game engine and the possibility of allocating state funding for it."Eurogamer Newscast: In a year short on Sony and Microsoft exclusives, is this the Switch's best yet?
Talks regarding this new engine began in May, when Russian developers allegedly voiced their concerns that they will soon have limited access to other engines such as Unreal or Unity. During these talks, the initiative was described as"important and urgent" for Russia's video game developers.Firstly, the Russian government would have to agree to invest"billions of rubles over the years" to make this new engine a reality.
Secondly, Russia would be starting from scratch with this proposed project. The country would be on the back foot, especially when compared to established engines such as the ones mentioned above.With the political environment as it is at the moment, many have suspended all ties with Russia. However, for a new engine to run, Russia will need manufacturers of graphics cards to be on board with the plan.
