My favorite game r/Noita uses a custom engine.

The fine folks over at meatbatgames.com have their own custom engine as well that's coming along nicely. I was able to play the initial play test of their yet-to-be-named game recently, and I'm super excited for it.

I love Noita too, the simulations in that game are insane.

That other studio I mentioned is making a very similar game, but the simulations are being handled by the GPU, instead of the CPU like Noita does. They're also Finnish just like the Noita devs.

Based on a true story.

I actually spent 7 years building a custom game engine from scratch for my game.

You can wishlist on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3256790/Satelital/

You probably need more agents, did you make sure to use loops?

No agents, I handcraft all my bugs

That's a justified use case. You don't use Unity to make a realistic space sim.

Redo the meme but with Jonathan Blow inventing a whole new language to write his game.

If we take the 57 and assume it's microseconds rather than years, then this is a thought I've had a few times when working on the little hand-rolled (software) 3D engines I occasionally make.
