I think this should be stickied for new users, too. RE: Engine List - E-Man - 10-01-2014 If you're going to be making a list of 2-D game engines, would you mind adding this one to the list? http://edward.sophiehoulden.com RE: Engine List - Hoeloe - 10-01-2014 You should probably add Unreal Engine to that list, too. It's not the same thing as UDK, they're different tools, and have different licensing. UDK is free to develop, with a payment on release and an insanely high license fee, while Unreal Engine is pay to develop, free to release, and a comparatively low license fee.

It's purely drag 'n drop, but it still provides some good options for someone who just doesn't want to touch code, or isn't ready to yet. As far as something that certainly is an engine: You also might take a look at the Flixel engine for Flash Actionscript 3 RE: Engine List - SomeThingEviL - 09-20-2015 You should add OpenBOR to the list of 2D engines.

Here is a link to there sourceforge page and the page for releasing mods for it. http://sourceforge.net/projects/openbor/ http://www.chronocrash.com/forum/ RE: Engine List - iMackshun - 09-26-2015 You should add LibGDX to the list, as it is an excellent cross-platform game development framework.
