Is there still room for another game engine?
I started Lumix Engine years ago for fun and as a test bed for new ideas, which were later implemented in my dayjob. Now I am using it to make a game. I never intended to fill some gap on the market.

#12Came across this one too the other day - Xenko http://xenko.com/
Xenko looks very professional, pity it's GPL.
> Yes, you can sell your game without any constraints as long as you use the binary version distributed on the website. If you modify and recompile the engine yourself, you can still sell your product, but you have to open the source code of your game and the modifications made to Xenko as stated in the GPL license.

#14What happened to FieldsGame? Sounds interesting, but the link on readme page doesn't have any information except it's a physics sandbox of some sort.

#15Very cool technology, both the engine and studio/editor. Impressive, judging from commit stats it seems to be one person project. Kudos! What happened to FieldsGame? Sounds interesting, but the link on readme page doesn't have any information except it's a physics sandbox of some sort.
FieldsGame is made by 3rd party developer, so I do not know in what stage it is. It is possible it's abandoned.

Apparently they allow you to keep your game's source closed. From their FAQ: > Yes, you can sell your game without any constraints as long as you use the binary version distributed on the website.

#18Maybe I'm just now getting aware of it but I just recently learned of Godot[1] and now this as well. Seems like we have the chance to replace Unity as the "Community" game engine with a free open source version. [1] https://godotengine.org/
See also http://atomicgameengine.com/ it's quite mature too.

#20Does any of the engines mentioned in this thread come close to feature set in Unreal? What's the value here other than creating basic 2D/3D games?
