# Esoterica Engine — The ‘Esoteric’ C++ Engine Made by AAA Veterans

**[Gamefromscratch](https://daily.dev/sources/gamefromscratch)** · 11 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Esoteric Game Engine is not for everyone.  It is not a turn key game engine likes Unity, Unreal or Godot.  It is however created by developers with AAA game experience, entirely free & open source, remarkably robust and includes a full level editor.  This engine is intended as a starting point for creating your own game engine, or as a learning experience or as a platform for doing experiments.  It is very much intended for experienced developers who can jump in and understand the code.  If you can though, there is a wealth of knowledge, experience and of course, source code to make use of here.
