What is the difference between an indie approach to game development and a business one, – Alexander Myasishchev, director of Nau Engine, told in his column for App2Top.

We continue to summarize the results of 2023 with the gaming (or related to the gaming sector) teams. Next up is an interview with Vitaly Agafonov, head of the Nau Engine product.

In October, it became known that the basis of the new Russian open engine Nau Engine will be a solution from Gaijin Entertainment — Dagor Engine. App2Top talked with Andrey Karsakov, Head of Nau Engine development, about how it happened and what technologies the engine will support.

Last week, the Nau Engine team announced that they had taken a render core and system-level components from Dagor Engine for their engine. According to Gaijin Entertainment, the company that developed Dagor Engine, it was a surprise for her.

The team of the Russian engine Nau Engine has published a roadmap. It is designed for the next two years.

More than 8 thousand developers have applied to participate in the beta test of the Russian Nau Engine. It was possible to achieve such a figure in three months: the collection of applications was opened in June.

The companies that are part of the Game Services Development Competence Center under the Ministry of Finance have prepared a roadmap for the development of the gaming Industry from 2024 to 2030. According to it, by 2026, Russian game developers may be required to use the NAU Engine if they want to receive funding from the state.

VK claims that the Russian Nau Engine is made by an independent development team. VK itself acts only as an investor and curator of the project.

The Nau Engine team shared new details about the game engine. Among other things, she announced plans to add support for neural networks to the engine. She also thinks to give developers the opportunity to connect the necessary AI solutions to the Nau Engine themselves.
