No-code or codeless systems are becoming more and more common among game engines and they offer a few benefits. Using a visual programming language enables non-programmers to interact with the code in a more tactile way, while the code itself tends to be a bit more self documenting then most scripting or programming languages. Make […]

GB Studio was just released. It’s an open source MIT licensed game engine for creating top down JRPG style games for the Gameboy. Capable of generating ROMs that can be run in an emulator, as well as playable web versions that can be uploaded to Itch.io. Summary details of GB Studio from their website:Visual game […]
Today we are looking at WickedEngine, an open source C++ based 3D game engine with Direct 11/12/Vulkan rendering paths, an Entity Component System and Lua scripting available. It is inspired by the XNA programming model and has no external dependencies, making it incredibly easy (especially for a C++ project) to get started. Additionally there is […]

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 […]
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 […]
