Engine?

[edit]

The sidebar lists this game as using both Source 2 and Unity; that is physically impossible since they're completely different rendering engines. Can someone actually get a reliable source for what it's actually made in? Octan (talk) 05:56, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • One of the games (Robot Repair, per SteamDB) uses Source 2, but the majority of the other games seem to use Unity. Eurogamer also stated that the game uses Source 2. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 06:21, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is visible in the game's files that "Robot Repair", "Secret Shop", and "The Lab" are two spearated things. The Lab and Secret Shop both feautre the commonly known Unity folder stucture ("gamename.exe" and "gamename_Data" folder with everything else in it), while Robot Repair has file extensions, such as vpk (Valve Pak(ckage) files), vcs (Valve custom shader file), and vdf (Valve data file), among others, that indicate the usage of Source, or in this case, Source 2. When playing Secret Shop or Robot Repair, The Lab simply opens an external exe, which again open The Lab once they close. It don't see why this is "physically impossible".
