What makes a game engine good or bad

#gamedev #discuss #opensource #productivity

As every game developer knows unity typically gets hated becuase of those bad mobile games. BUT thats NOT what makes a game engine bad.

Ok so you may be wondering what makes a game engine generally bad and to answer that i have to say 1 thing games engines such as: UE, Unity, Godot, GameMakerStudio, etc etc are NOT bad they all have specific use cases. A bad game engine is one which it doesn't aid the game dev in making a game. A example of this would be something like opengl and glfw as it isnt made to make games but made to make game engine and other low level graphic programs.

But i want to hear your opinion and I'm also asking for help, currently i am making my own game engine with rust but i can't do it alone. It isn't a small project so if you could please come take a look and help out it would mean the world. The game engine is linked here, so please take a look

Anyway have a good day and let me know your opinion in the comments
