Defold: Open-source Lua game engine with console support
What's really missing is an open source "bring your own engine and asset pipeline" editor tool. Game editors have pretty much arrived at the Unity data model and editor workflow (game object outliner to the left, scene view in the middle, property panel on the right, asset panel at the bottom, plus custom panels). The Unity Editor and asset pipeline is hackable enough to use it as editor for another engine, I did... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago
Is the blender game engine good?
There are two primary contenders to replace the BGE. One is Armory3D (https://armory3d.org/) It has a ton of potential, and outputs to multiple formats including web. But it's a one-developer show and it's been really inconsistent. I taught a class on prototyping 3D games with it, but updates are slow and inconsistent, as is the documentation. Too bad, because it's a promising project, with a blueprints-like... Source: about 1 year ago

Armory3D is also interesting, not a fork of the original BGE AFAIK but integrates with Blender. Source: over 1 year ago

Ask HN: Best stack to make a 2D game in 2023
I've personally had a very good experience with Haxe and Haxeflixel (https://haxeflixel.com/) although Heaps (https://heaps.io/) seems to be more popular nowadays. Haxe is very nice as a language, can easily cross-compile to a lot of targets, Haxeflixel is heavily inspired by some Actionscript framework and has a lot of goodies. Maybe Heaps is more mature, up to date and allows for more advanced features. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago
What is the worst engine you've ever used and why?
Not really the worst, but you can say my least favorite, and that would be heaps.io. Source: about 1 year ago
why are gamedevs so against sharing code?
Yeah I think it's ideal for 2D development. Look into heaps.io . . You might like it! These days it seems the best source of community for haxe is in their official discord server. Source: over 1 year ago
Picking a language
Many frameworks will let you export for the web, even if you don't code your game in JS. Unity, Godot, Bevy(?), heaps.io ... The list goes on and on. Source: over 1 year ago
