Might I suggest idTech 4 in these trying times?
You should use idTech 4. Why? Because it'd be funny. Also, stencil shadows are cool. Also, not owned by murderous assholes.
Also, I use idTech 4. And you like me, don't you? 🥺

Oh yeah, I guess you could also make a VTuber app in IDTech (i.e. Quake engine) but unless you use a really old version, it's now owned by Microsoft who are on the BDS list

Someone make that image of all the people killing themselves except it’s labeled Unreal, Unity, and then have Microsoft murdering idTech and I guess Godot is the horrified onlooker in the meme
Reuters - 'Gaming software provider Unity Software has held recent talks to be acquired by a consortium of investors including private equity firm Silver Lake Partners and Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund PIF'
'Valuation of $25 billion was discussed in recent weeks'

seeing a lot of talk of not connecting to/running your own Doom 3 server, either with source ports or the original game binary due to the possibility of remote code execution, people are unsure if this also impacts other games based on idTech 4 such as Quake 4 and Quake Wars

now to find a way to convince folks I know to use Godot (probably reasonable answer) or some flavour of idTech (sicko answer) instead for new projects
Both Blueprints AND C++ Gameplay Framework being removed from Unreal Engine??

My current gamedev dream is to work my way up through the different Id Software engines (or sourceports thereof) until I reach Idtech 4, then make a game inspired by late '90s-mid 2000s sci-fi movies.

Imagine being the guy whose galaxy-brain business boy idea was breaking up idtech. I just don't think you should get to have a job after that. Or kneecaps. Ever. 🤷♂️

Panicked about using a .js file like a headless chikin, but it's a no JavaScript required code for a light/dark mode toggle (・∀・)👍
//neocities' CSS file was also unresponsive? so I yeeted it all on index

if the new serious sam isn't in idtech 4 at maximum and arbitrarily framerate locked at like 90fps with absolutely zero support for resolutions above 720p i dont want it

Basically this. Other games in development use IDTech, so they still need the studio to provide support. Once those games are finished though, we'll probably get the announcement then

And if they were to try a new game, it would not use IDTech. They literally don't have enough people who know how to use it anymore. So yeah, they got reduced to a support studio since other studios at Microsoft/Bethesda use IDTech. Once those games are done though, they'll likely finish the job

Somehow still not the worst day for games industry news.
The combination of the ID layoffs... and then the IDtech team layoffs are still what hit me the hardest.
If the legacy & prestige of "we land the foundation for an entire genre & the modern 3D game engine" doesn't shield you... nothing will.

They've been reduced to pre Doom 2016 studio size and have basically lost most of the team needed to make new games. Now they're just supporting IDTech (as much as they can since most of that team was laid off too). So yeah, they're basically shut down too as what's left is not the same ID as before

They tried to say that it was a good thing and that nothing would change, but LinkedIn and employee statements contradicted all of it. The VFX team is just one guy now, the main IDTech coders are gone. They genuinely can't ship games anymore since they cut most of the veteran talent in the studio.

I helped revive interest in Quake 4 maps in a mapping Discord. I collected screenshots from some of the best custom maps to advocate for creating a new space for this old game. I posted a pile of idTech 4 resources to help newbies out.
I'm no longer in that server, because a vibe coder took over.
