Development History
The engine is a follower of the Jade engine of the same company; when developing the engine, attention was paid to effective work with both old and modern equipment. The first game on this engine was Rabbids Go Home , released on the Wii console in 2008 . According to the developers, the engine "allowed to use the potential of the Wii console without limiting the imagination of the authors." [one]
In 2009, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled , developed jointly by several Ubisoft affiliates, was released on the LyN engine, and in 2010 the three-dimensional shooter Red Steel 2 was released . [2] .
It is planned to use the engine in subsequent developments of the company; in particular, the developed game Beyond Good & Evil 2 is based on this engine. [3]
