Impact of contributions

The architeture of the engine allowed for event system responses, and update & render separations all in a per-layer context, for decoupling of systems. This aided the team members in their work flow as all had their own working area in the code base with well-defined interface points.
This was further aided by the Entity Component System (ECS), which stored the data components linearly in a packed manner through the sparse set data structure, for maximum efficiency and performance in the game. The user friendly front end interface of the ECS helped the team members writing effective engine and gameplay systems, which sped up development and neatly separated the code base and systems in focused areas of concern, which helped in tracking down bugs.
