Game Engines and Development Software Market

Game Engines and Development software helps individual developers, gaming companies, and educational institutions create, distribute, and monetize games. These solutions often offer additional capabilities such as user behaviour analytics, marketing, and social features.

Game Development Software is a specialized software application that assists or facilitates the making of a video game. Some tasks handled by tools include the conversion of assets (such as 3D models, textures, etc.) into formats required by the game, level editing and script compilation.

Game engines provide game developers a framework for creating a video game without the need to create all systems, such as the physics, graphics, and AI, from scratch. Game engines help developers save time and resources by removing the need to program and integrate game-supporting systems together, so developers can focus on creating the meat of the game itself. Game development teams use game engines to support them while they program a video game, and the decision of which game engine to use is usually the first step towards actually creating a game. Similar to a software suite, game engines contain many different internal systems such as a physics engine, audio engine, rendering engine, AI, animation, and more. Often, there are plugins or APIs available to customize a game engine, and some game engines come with asset libraries to make it even easier to create a game.
