I'm here to talk a little about the game, flaunt its secrets, and most importantly, explain away the title that reminds too many gamers about their bedroom exploits.

Develop Writes: Developer 'tired of PC engines shoe-horned into consoles'.

Californian developer Ready At Dawn has attacked the current state of console game engines for being too PC-centric and scattered with middleware components.

The God of War: Chains of Olympus developer made criticisms as it announced its own newly-available alternative, the Ready At Dawn Engine.

"Our solution will be a complete game development platform that simply works," he said.

The Ready At Dawn Engine is said to be a wholly console-centric platform, integrated with a suite of third-party tools that require no additional licence. These tools include 3D content editing, audio, user interface and asset management systems.
