10 lesser known engines to make games for fun and relax
I was a big fan of Solar2D (formerly known as CoronaSDK) for many years... I developed several games for the various App Stores. It's still around, free, and is now Open Source. Source: about 1 year ago

Open source recreation of the PS Vita game -- Calling all creators
I would like to recreate the Plastic Memories PS Vita game as a free, open source, cross-platform (any platform SFML runs on*) game for everyone to enjoy. I'm not sure how much time I'll be able to put into it (I don't have much time between school and various other projects of mine) but I can handle the code, coordination, and source code hosting.
