About Gamenator
Gamenator is a reference to the engines, genres and studios behind video games, written by lordtime with a source for every fact.
Gamenator started in 2013 as a games news site. Since November 2026 it has been a reference to what games are made of: the engines they run on, the genres they belong to and the studios that built them.
lordtime writes and edits every page. Facts come from the engine makers’ documentation and release notes, talks by the studios’ own engineers, game credits and the trade press. Each page lists the sources it was checked against, and a game appears on an engine page only when a source names that engine.
