Welcome to This week in Game Engines! This is a recurrent blog post on gamedev news, articles, and related tech development content from the week before.
This format of weekly news was greatly inspired by This week in Rust. Most of the content is automatically added to the post via official RSS feeds from Game Engines websites, and miscellaneous gamedev content is hand-picked from suggestions and news aggregators such as hackernews, lobste.rs and gamedev.city.
This week we got a Jam announcement from Phaser (with prizes!), the results of Godot's XR Game Jam ("Godot XR update" is a bit misleading, it's not an Engine update but a community blog post) and some cool articles and tutorials from Unreal and Unity peeps. Also, expect Castle Game Engine to be quite present on This week in Game Engine - they have recurrent game engine updates and some cool blog posts every other week.
Finally, don't sleep on the two miscellaneous articles, specially if you like Retro game development AND/OR are interested in Game Development with ECS.
