  3. What is jMonkeyEngine? It's a free, open source game engine, made especially for Java game developers who want to create 3D games using modern technology.
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    Java: Jmonkeyengine works with Armed Bear Common Lisp, but it requires you to write a lot of Java as "glue" because of the engine's structure. Still, the engine and ABCL are solid and you can get it if you give it time.

  4. Hi there! LÖVE is an *awesome* framework you can use to make 2D games in Lua.
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    Another option, much simpler than unity/godot, but it only works for 2d games, would be using fennel (another lisp) with love2d (there's a tutorial for that in fennel's wiki). With no prior knowledge of lua I've made a simple 2d game in love2d myself in only a few hours, it's very good for beginners and learning how games work. Love2d has a subreddit: /r/love2d.

  5. Learning Resources
    Later, come back and have a look at lisp. Useful like learning some Latin is. You’ll see new beauty in everyday things. I enjoyed Siebel’s book Practical Common Lisp. - https://gigamonkeys.com/book/.
