News::Autodesk targets small studios with its Stingray game engine

Autodesk finally has a game engine to go along with its design tools. The company has just launched Stingray, which it built around the Bitsquid engine it bought last year. Autodesk kept the basic guts of the program -- which has already been used on titles like Gauntlet from Warner Bros -- and revamped it with a new interface. The company told me the goal was to build an engine for smaller studios that can be customized without the need for a lot of complex programming. At the same time, it wanted Stingray to have all the bells and whistles of competing products like Unreal Engine 4 -- physical shading, post-processing effects, a high-performance reflection system and more.
