So this is so weird and unexpected but Gaijin has released their game engine- used for War Thunder- completely for free.
I guess they were tired of people leaking secret documents and is just saying “There, now you do your game yourself!”

I was afraid of that- I checked with a friend and yeah, it is the real deal.
They use Jolt physics (Bolt too) and Vulkan.
Oh my. And with BSD-3 license too. Anyone fancy new Mudspike Combat Simulator?

I am seriously thinking about digging out some of the dream games I always wanted to develop, but I wasn’t sure I had the right engine for…

Imagine war thunder without any asset.
That’s what you have.

So does that license mean that one could create a game using this engine and market it for-profit? Would it have to be open source? (I really did google it, and am still bewildered).

Disclaimer: I am not legal advisor, but let’s take a look.
It is one of the “permissive licences” and I see it that you could make your own game with the engine and sell it without royalties and it could be closed source.
