A game engine to do what? What type of game? Which technology do you want to use? Do you want to be basic... or do you want to be complex and managed? Do you want a reusable engine for many types of game? Is your engine going to be genre specific? Are you going to use Scripting languages? Do you want to write the render engine yourself or use an existing library? The list is endless
