Fenforge is a cross-platform game engine that has been in continuous development by Fen Research since September 2010. First used to develop Solstrike (2014) and Iona's Toybox (2021), Brighter Shores is the third game to use this engine. The engine is based on a privately developed programming language, and designed to be flexible general-purpose engine, allowing programmers to make different types of games relatively quickly.

The Holistic engine was developed by Keen Games specifically for Enshrouded.

I3D is a software tool kit designed to help you create your own interactive 3D programs in C. If you're interested in creating a program similar to Castle Wolfenstein or Ultima Underworld - I3D is for you! Applications developed with I3D may be distributed royalty-free! I3D can be used to create 32-bit MS-DOS or 32-bit Windows applications. I3D 2.1 has been tested with the Borland C/C++ v4.5, Microsoft Visual C++ v2.0, and Watcom C/C++ 32-bit v10.0B compilers. I3D 2.1 REQUIRES a 32-bit compiler and 32-bit operation system.

RENKEI Engine is a powerful multipurpose game engine designed for rapid game development. It is developed by AtomicTorch Studio for their own projects to be a powerful tool for client-server game development geared towards multiplayer/massively multiplayer cross-platform games. It is powered by .NET Core 3.1. The Client part of RENKEI Engine utilizes MonoGame framework for the easier development of 2D games. The primary philosophy behind RENKEI Engine is to focus the development on implementing the actual gameplay and UI code with C# while minimizing any interruptions during the development process. Therefore the engine is designed to allow live/hot-reloading of any game code and assets (textures, models, audio, C# scripts, XAML UI markup, etc.) without recompilation or other interruptions. The title of the engine is based on Japanese words 連携 renkei (cooperation, coordination, link) and 遠景 enkei (perspective, vista). CryoFall is the first game made with RENKEI Engine.
