Hello my name is ColdBeer and this time I
want to tell you about the next generation
world creation engine which will definitely
be used in many next generation games.
Or not.
Anyway, not everything will be created with
Unreal 5 - there is a new rival in town called
Square Enix's Luminous engine.
It is currently being used to make the game
codenamed Project Athia, which we saw being
teased at this year's PS5 event.
Imagine creating a 3D RPG game with this - you
can create entire provinces of let’s say
Skyrim just in a few hours and all you need
afterwards is just to add some personal touch,
bet the hardest work is done just with a few
clicks of a mouse.
I especially like the forest at night, it
looks majestic and mysterious and really dense,
imagine exploring these dangerous woods in
a real game, when you have no clue what lurks
hidden in the shadows with the intentions
of rape.

So, to be short this video is a showcase of
the way the Luminous engine's auto-generation
can fill out natural environments with trees,
grass, water, rocks and so on and still looks
quite pretty.
As for Project Athia, it's definitely coming
to PC and it is a third-person open world
game about a girl in a fantasy world full
of enormous beasts.
It sure looks like it'll feature some platforming
and give you nature-themed powers like, i
don’t know, dendroidic grasp or nature's
wrath or druid’s eeemm... druid’s eternal
revenge.
I’m pretty sure that those or similar ones
will be implemented ingame.
So, when Project Athia will be released, only
then we can decide if this engine is a worthy
rival for Unreal 5 or just a simple one time
deal.

If you don’t have a goat, you are off the
hook this time.
Lucky you.

RPG, open world and strategy games.
