RPG Maker in open source version. Thanks. Solarus was created with the idea of open-source engines for homebrew Zelda games and thanks to this it has its own niche. If someone looks for the small easy, portable engine that helps to recreate action-adventure games from the NES era on steroids that's it. Solarus is great for this and more. No one says that it is limited only to that type of game. Due to easy Lua scripting language development is easy for most people. The portability is good enough, the engine easily reads the quest pack created in the editor but it needs to change thinking for gamers, like in most open-source engines. It lets you publish even on Nintendo, but first, it is needed to have an NDA signed with a developer license. The engine is really nice and worth trying.

The editor is based on hype for programming for everyone - lowCode/scratch. It looks nice if you want to learn something or build a prototype on the go like in a bus/taxi on your phone and then test quickly. I have a problem with looking for proper documentation, maybe after creating an account, there will be a proper one. But in the end, it looks like a good engine for starters Links Website: www.modd.io Community:  Developers Blog  |  Forums  |  Documentation  |  Discord

Looks like another engine for corpo coders, or students from the previous decade. It looks clean and ready. It can be used as the main engine and also as the library for another app which can made things easier in some cases - android app. Due to being based on Kotlin, it gives all java features, even the rapid prototyping due to the nature of JVM. It is small and looks like one project for simple games. Devs are showing on the website features with the code, so users can check the complexity and approach for that feature.
