We researched game engines used in doujin games for Comic Market 92. Studies about game engines in doujin games have existed for a long time, but in such investigations, the game engines used for visual novels have been at the center of at-tention. It is now increasingly common for doujin games to be developed in 3D, however, and more in-depth investigations about the foundation of the game industry are important in understanding this trend. In our study, we identified the game engines used in doujin games and the configuration of the distributed applications. Then we analyzed the spread of game engines from the genre under examination and found that 2D visual novels were produced at an overwhelming rate as doujin games. It turned out that different game engines are used depending on a doujin game's context and genre. Game engines are highly diverse in 2D doujin games, whereas game engines that are often used in commercial games-such as Unity and Unreal Engine-are starting to be used in 3D doujin games. However, it seems that the 2D and 3D doujin game production communities are divided. How the two communities can improve their relationship.
