Guerilla Games Co-Founder Arjan Brussee Aims to Create a 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 offers a distinct European alternative to the dominant American and Chinese technologies like Unreal Engine and Unity. His vision for ‘The Immense Engine’ is not just about gaming; it aims to cater to a variety of sectors, including defense and logistics, by leveraging the unique capabilities of European compliance and innovation.
Brussee emphasizes the need for a game engine that is fully European-hosted and built, which he believes is crucial in today’s global landscape. He argues that existing engines are outdated, designed for traditional workflows that don’t fully utilize the potential of AI. By integrating AI into the development process, Brussee envisions a future where the efficiency of game development can be revolutionized, allowing a small team to achieve what previously required a much larger workforce.
As the gaming industry evolves, the demand for versatile and powerful tools is greater than ever. Will ‘The Immense Engine’ rise to meet this challenge and redefine how we create digital worlds? Only time will tell.
