The C4 Engine is an emerging next-generation computer game engine created by Eric Lengyel. It supports many features considered to be indicative of next-generation titles, including full-scene motion blur, normal mapping and parallax mapping, dynamic lights and shadows, and penumbral soft shadows. The engine is currently in a beta stage of development. Image File history File links C4shot2. ...

Games in development There are 7 announced games in development using the C4 engine. These games are:
Licensing One license to the C4 Engine allows the licensee to make changes to the engine's source code. The licensee pays a one time fee of $100 USD, and must include the "Powered by the C4 Engine" logo, as opposed to other commercial Engines of similar features, which go for higher prices.
