00:00Epic Games lost its chief Unreal evangelist in June.
00:03Geor de Jong left the company after 12 years as a senior director,
00:08declaring the games industry was at a pivotal point.
00:11Now, it turns out de Jong is taking on that pivotal point by building his own game engine.
00:17It's called the Amends Engine, and he's building it with a small team of other tech whizzies
00:22that includes former Epic technical director Arian Brousset.
00:27Is he trying to take on Unreal? Absolutely.
00:30Amends is meant to be an alternative to the ubiquitous Unreal and Unity engines,
00:35which de Jong says have caused stagnation.
00:39Unreal and Unity get bigger and bigger, and there's more and more baggage that builds over time, de Jong says.
00:45So you wonder if there's got to be something here where we can have a clean, modern engine built from
00:51the ground up.
00:52I guess Amends already has its evangelist.
