I was just curious about something. You're actual going to write a game engine itself in C#? What kind of game were you planning to make with it?

We don't write an engine but our development tools in C#. This has the background that we've created an open-source development workflow, which is insipred from web development. It means that all of our source code is split into packages/modules which can be included into a project as needed and along with all dependencies it requires. The engine code and some tools that share a codebase between development and production (some AI driven content generator systems for example) are also still written in C++.

The game I have in mind (in the future) is a server based, immersive multiplayer RPG on traditional media like PC and Consoles but also VR and whatever devices might be there in the future. While we develop everything in modules, it'll be no problem to replace outdated modules or add modules that support state of the art VR technology

Bringing this back on top as it is still up to date
