Time to learn Godot.

It's not perfect but is the best we have. And it keeps improving nicely.

But with the new interest it will improve much faster. I hope it will be on the same level as Blender.

And if you're a moderate to professional programmer, tbh its better than unity or unreal already because how much you can hack into it.

The editor itself was made simply using Godot primitives

Waiting for Godot 5.0

Keeping an eye on it.. there's no embedding right now so we couldn't use it, but I'm sure it'll get added given the pace of development.

Cruelty Squad uses Godot.

[–] McWolke@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Many games use Godot. Sonic Colors Ultimate also uses Godot

Or check out Defold. Lightweight, fast, open source. It's amazing especially for 2D stuff.
