Abstract

In this paper, we aim to address this issue by discussing online communities surrounding consumer-grade game engines. We will examine how conventions and canons pertaining to the use of the engine emerge in these communities―and how they are then challenged and subverted. Building on an autoethnography of my own experience as a hobbyist game developer, we will describe how community members develop games that probe the boundaries of the engine’s functionality and will discuss their motivation in doing so
