Game Development News, Tutorials and More
With the recent announcement that Allegorithmic is being purchased by Adobe suddenly one of the most asked questions is “what is the best alternative to Substance Painter”? Sadly, no direct replacement exists, Substance Painter was a pretty one of a kind program. Fortunately there are a number of other PBR texture painting packages available. We […]
During my recent MagicaVoxel video I mentioned that this application deserves a place on my “Top 10 free game development tools” list. Then I realized I’d never created such a list, so now I have! This is a collection of 10 free (as in money, not freedom, although many are open source as well) tools […]
Due to it’s popularity in the professional game industry, I get all kinds of requests for C++ based game engines. That is exactly what this guide is, a collection of game engines that use C++. This is not about game engines that are written using C++, many if not most game engines are at least […]
One of the most challenging things when just starting game development is handling art in your game. Most programmers have the artistic ability of a slightly blind tree toad, so what are they to do? Well, you can scour the internet, tons of great free content out there, but there’s 100x more garbage as well. […]
In this chapter of our ongoing Game Engines by Language series, today we are going to look at the game engines, both 2D and 3D, available for Python. If you are interested we have already created versions for C++, C#, Lua, JavaScript and the Haxe programming languages. Keep in mind, only engines/frameworks still under active […]

Following up on our C#, C++ and Lua game engine lists, today we are going to look at frameworks and engines that use the Haxe programming language. In the Haxe ecosystem, many frameworks are build on top of other frameworks, so we will be covering them in order, from lowest level to the highest. If […]
Recently we have broken down lists of 3D game engines that use the C++ language or C# language as a programming language for game logic. Today we are going to look at game engines using the Lua programming language. This doesn’t mean the game engine was created using the Lua language, instead we are covering […]
Last week we took a look at the available C++ game engines, that is, 3D game engines that you can use C++ to write game logic. Today we are going to look at C# game engines. We are using the same criteria as the last list, the engine must be 3D, actively under development and […]
Perhaps you are a bit artistically challenged, or you are looking for resources to prototype your 3D games? Where can you find the best free 3D models? This page is a collection of some of the best resources for 3D models with permissive licenses. If I’ve missed a resource you use, please let me know […]
