Open 3D Engine

One of the new players on the market. It is CryEngine which was rewritten in open source and free way when it was under the name Lumberjack from Amazon studios.
Now it is baked by many tech companies, there is easier way to integrate with AWS which could be nice if someone think not only the gamedev projects in the cloud.

So because, it is based on CryEngine, this engine like unreal could be really nice if someone think more about graphics side of the game. Due to scripting language like Lua and their own visual script it can be really good alternative for Unreal Engine.

The only problem for me is the license, and how it will comply with the AWS cloud. Of course main engine is on the Apache and some parts are in MIT, there are information about other license for some components.

The engine which is a synonym for Visual Novel in FOSS world. It was made for it in 2005 and still rocks in their genre. It is made with python. Now like in Godot there is two version one for older projects with only bug fixes and new version 8. Because it is made for VN, and only for this, it is easier for artist and script writers to make games in it. On their forums you can find tutorials for writing and how to make everything from idea to deployment the game.

The engine has a promising future. It is clearly an experiment due to the language F#, but it is nice to see something new on the market. It has a nice approach using the Tiled editor for 2D and Blender for 3D. The only cons in the future could be support for OpenGL 4.1, which is old, but as the dev wrote on his page, it is widely supported.   Links Website:  Nu Download:  Github, getting started page Community:  Wiki  |  Discord

Godot

Now with version 4, it is the most complete and universal engine in the world of FOSS. It is small, efficient, and has a helpful community. There are two versions of the engine that are currently supported. Now there is the 4th generation, which has been redesigned in many ways, with Vulkan as the main graphics backend, and the gdScript, which was redesigned, faster and more reliable than before. The 3rd series, which is the old version, is now mainly in maintenance mode. God for older computers with integrated graphics, but it wouldn't get too many new features like the 4.x. Some people say that there is a lack of documentation, but it was true at the beginning of the project. Now the problem does not exist. The cons, sometimes due to new features, there is the possibility that the project will break with the new version of the engine, and there will be no possibility of reversing. But in the end, it is possible to stick with one version for longer. Links Website:  Godot Download:...
