About the C4 Engine

The C4 Engine has been in continuous development by Eric Lengyel since 1999. He leads a small team that is making a first-person shooter called The 31st.

We are making the C4 Engine available for licensing so that others can make their own games with the same tech or so they can learn about engine development by watching us make ours.
