Eve Online's Carbon game engine goes open source on GitHub

Fenris Creations (formerly CCP Games) has open-sourced the Carbon game engine, the technology behind the long-running sci-fi MMO Eve Online, making it available on GitHub. Senior development director Ben Hunter explains the company's reasoning, including security benefits, community collaboration, and the potential for LLM-assisted coding. The project was developed on a "slow burn" with the bulk of work completed in the last 12 weeks, and the company sees open-sourcing as beneficial for everyone who improves the code.
