Deciding to build an engine or buy an off the shelf solution is an ongoing battle throughout the game industry.
This decision impacts various aspects of a project and can significantly change the risk level. Emergent is
dedicated to helping the video game industry continually raise the creative bar and allow our developers to
focus on making great games while we focus on the core technology. We firmly believe developers need time
