Tomb Engine is an open-source game engine that has captured the attention of the gaming community, particularly fans of the Tomb Raider series. Users have expressed excitement over its potential for creating innovative games, especially in genres like Armored Core or a souls-like version of Tomb Raider. However, some disappointment was noted regarding the visibility of the source code on its homepage, though a GitHub link was later shared, enabling access to the community. The initiative also highlights a shift towards fan-driven game development where players can explore ideas that traditional publishers might overlook.
