The engine used to build this game was a once-off creation, designed explicitly to run this particular title. This is not a real game engine, this is a GENERIC category.

A game run on an engine built for a few games (a game series, etc.), but not being clearly known or featured, should be assigned to Unknown engine.

About Star Made with 1 comment by schema on May 20th, 2012

Hello and welcome to StarMade,

Light

This module is for interior decoration of your ship or space station. It pretty much does, what its name promises. It provides light in dark areas. The engine uses an ambient occlusion technique to archive fast updates of block lighting.

Flare

The flare module also provides light, with the difference, that it also makes a nice flare to decorate the outer hull of your ship or station. I would not recommend to use it indoors since the flare is quite large, but hey, it's your decision.

Flare Blocks

Cockpits

Finally, there is a cockpit module in the game. You can now switch (using the arrow keys) between all cockpits in the ship, giving you the exact view of your ship, that you need. Cockpit switching has a smooth transition, so you it won't be confusing to where you switch next.

Other Noteworthy Fixes & Updates

I have completely rewritten the code for element grouping. There was a bottleneck which lead to big lags or even memory or stack shortage in some cases on really big ships with groups larger than 3000 elements. The updating of the grouping will now much more smoother, not slowing down the game by much. The bottleneck can't occur anymore, since the groups are now updating over time and not all in one update.

Things to Come

I will now fully focus on Space Stations as a goal for next week. Also check out Reddit.com . There will probably be a multiplayer play date for StarMade next weekend, where can meet nice people and play some multiplayer StarMade. Everyone is happily invited!

Thanks for playing StarMade,

With time, every developer gets bored when something of his bigger project isn't working as it should. And then, they make things like this. Enjoy!

Fallout 3's engine is named Gamebryo, it's used in Fallout 3 and Oblivion, but it's also used by other companies, so it can't be called a "custom engine" at all

Yes, it does. A custom-made engine still, but it should have a name when it's used over multiple games I'm sure you'll agree.
