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.

GB Studio

Another retro engine, but this time limited to one platform and not the genre. It was created for making roms for first Nintendo handheld. Due to block programming it is easy to make games. Due to possible export in from for the device so it can be run on it. But due to enhancements the limits were removed and users can made bigger games than 32K. In the end it is nice engine for everyone which gave ability to made games for handheld. Due to nature of the engine it has predefined genre of games, but they can be connected in one. So nothing can stop you from making your own zelda/pokemon/castlevania gae in one.

Narrat

Narrat Game engine looks like someone wanted to make RenPy as easy as the Adventure Game Engine for Windows was when it was released. The engine looks like it was made for people who wanted to write their own novels with minimum coding experience. They have their own easy script language and a plugin for the visual studio code which makes work easier. The additional thing to release ready for desktop and web is that the engine and games itself can be integrated into the website, maybe someone will use it to make their own ChatBot in an adventure style? Maybe this will be a disadvantage but the games look like the chatbot on most of the sites. But there are always some sort of sacrifices, and maybe in the future, there will be the possibility to change the style to another like with the RPG mode in this engine. Let's hope that the engine and its author show us more good material in the future. There is even a game jam for this engine! Links Website:  Narrat Download:  Installin...

Comfy

This time engine is inspired by projects like love2D or Raylib. It is focused on 2D, ergonomics, and productivity. Performance could come later. Looks like the author is working actively on it and has made significant improvements (4x times faster with the latest release). It is made mainly for 2D and Indie games, but the code is open and could be forced like the author did.
