Fenforge is the custom engine and programming language built by British studio Fen Research, founded in 2010 by Andrew Gower — the creator of the legendary RuneScape. Work on the engine began a full decade before Brighter Shores was even announced, and the entire game was built on it from scratch, without touching Unreal Engine or Unity — a choice Gower has explained as wanting complete control over the technology. Before Brighter Shores, Fenforge was already tested on the studio's smaller earlier projects, Solstrike and Iona's Toybox, making it a rare case of an engine maturing for years inside one small independent team before becoming the foundation of its flagship game.
