Grue also warned you against "not invented here" syndrome. You're going to end up with a large legacy codebase of your own making that has the same problems instead of a large legacy codebase of partially your own making. I fully contest that you could add the features you desire to v3 quicker than making your own engine. And I fully contest that you'd gain as much from it as writing your own engine. Working on legacy and making it better is, ultimately, a better skill t have than to greenfield projects. It's more applicable to the real world, and it's a superset of "good design practices", so you're not shorting yourself on any given experience. Way to selectively listen.

I guess the whole GCE has to be done before any more game is constructed? I am glad to hear from you again, I will say. I guess the whole GCE has to be done before any more game is constructed?
