Two Tribes is a company that has released several amazing games such as Toki Tori and Rive among others and has made a surprising new announcement. The announcement being that the company has made the PC version of its game engine open source. The full details and files can be found on Github, which also includes a surplus of information to help new programmers get started.
The engine emphasizes 2D layered visuals with optimal performance, and it is the PC version of the engine being the one that’s now open source.
We, Two Tribes, have used this engine for over a decade. The engine was initially conceived as a Nintendo DS game engine when creating games such as Worms Open Warfare 2. It has since been used on many games for Nintendo Wii, Playstation 4 and PC among others.
It offers basic 3D functionality, but the main focus for Two Tribes has always been 2D games, so this is where it really shines! Our games always strived to run at 60 frames per second while offering great layered 2D visuals.
We decided to release the PC version of the engine on Github (see license below) and can’t wait to see what other developers are able to create with it!
This is a great move by Two Tribes, as new programmers now have more resources to aid in their work.
