In behalf of other programmers who makes Game Engines, I would like to take a survey on what current and aspiring Game Hobbyists/ Game Designers look for in a Game Engine.
Please note. I'm speaking of the homebrew scene. So, choosing an answer should also consider alloted-time for the development. Of course, everybody will want a multiplayer 3D game engine for their games. |
I would say your question is a tad vauge, as depends if you are targetting a hand held device, a PC, a console, a web based system... The reason there are soooooo many engines around these days is because everyone wants to do something different, there isnt 1 engine fits all...
If you are assuming that people are going to be making simple PC mmos, as this is what the community seems to be geared towards. I would say they will want 3d as 2d takes too much artwork and you can find more 3d modellers these days than decent 2d artists. They will want multiplayer but i guess it would be more than the simple multiplayer implementation they would want something that would allow them to integrate a client/server architecture with it... However as i said everyone will want something different...
