"DayZ creator presents BRUTAL, a free open-source development framework" — 80 Level · Graphics & VFX
BRUTAL is a free, (or source-available) C# game- released by Dean Hall, the creator of , and developed through his companies RocketWerkz and Ahwoo. It is meant to give other developers a reusable foundation for building games, and is free to use even commercially, with the main condition being that the framework is credited and no royalties are charged.
The claim is well supported: the release is reported by 80 Level and corroborated by several independent outlets (daily.dev, wnhub, GamesIndustry.biz), all pointing to an official announcement from Dean Hall/RocketWerkz. The reporting sits close to the primary announcement, though one nuance is that some coverage says 'open-source' while others specify 'source-available,' so the exact license terms are slightly softer than the headline suggests.
Genuinely new: the release was reported on 16 October 2026, with coverage appearing the same day and in the following days.
