00:04Unreal Engine is all about AI nonsense, Unity is, well, doing the same.
00:09None of them ever stop to think, what if my engine's user is a time traveller from 3000 BCE
00:15who can only communicate in Sumeru-Arcadian cuneiform?
00:19You know who is thinking about that?
00:21The makers of the free and open source game engine Godot,
00:24which happily supports the world's oldest known writing system.
00:27Why does it do that?
00:28Great question.
00:30Moving on.
00:31Okay, fine.
00:32It's because its parser accepts the use of most Unicode Standard Annex 31,
00:37which is my favourite Unicode Standard Annex.
00:40Which, by the way, means you could also be coding in Futhark Runes,
00:44Egyptian Hieroglyphs, and Mycenaean Linear B.
00:48So hop to it, game devs.
