Redseed Game Studio

When you are trying to make a video game then you must almost always go with a game engine. Sure there are graphic libraries for most of the popular programming languages in the world but making a game which will sell well in today's day and age using just a graphics library is nearly impossible. Python has pygame library, C has SDL but making a game using just these libraries is a nightmare. We must always go for an engine. Game engines make our lives easier and we are able to build the games faster.



Now, before you choose a game engine for your game you have to decide what type of game you want to make. This we have discussed in our previous article which you can read here: Niara: ROTK Devlog | What type of video game should you make?

The gaming community is quick to sniff out when a corporation is starting to take them for granted and start exploiting them by providing them bad products or services. No corporation can sell bad products or services to the gaming community. We have seen many examples of companies trying to do that and losing their image in the community.
