Solarus Game Engine

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.

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 which 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 will 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: ...

Traktor

New Year, New Engine, the old style of blogging. Traktor is a tool for hardworking people in my country. But in this case, as the maintainers say, they are looking more for optimizing and polishing rather than building another sandbox. It is small, ready for 3D, and open for customization. It has Lua scripting language and editor, and the license is MPL. Official platforms are Linux and Windows with unofficial support for iOS and Android. The problem is that it does not have documentation. But it has only 1.5 years of development and is still in Alpha, no one is perfect in their side projects.

Unigine

Probably the last engine, from first three popular engines for indie developers - UE, Unreal. It is nice multipurpose 3D engine, and it can be used in Simulation and Cad projects. The product is organised in scenes and nodes so it could be similar like in Godot. It has few scripting possibilities C++ for best performance, C# for optimisation and their own UnigineScript which is good. They make their own shader language s it is easier when porting to various platforms. At this moment you can only export projects to windows and linux, there is work for current generation of consoles, and the mobile will be in some future. The community version is made for indie developers. The free version is for peoples that made under 100k $ in sales/funding, but if you need more information there is email to their sales group - licensing@unigine.com Links Website:  Unigine Download:  Download  - you need to register ad developer site.
