Hello!

I love making games, have even had the privilege to do it “for real”. I’m looking for some game engine that I can use to make a 2D turnbased rpg game, that would compile for pc and android.

I have tried out lots of engines since a long time, and whats bothering me the most is that windows changes breaking stuff, the engine going paid or cease to exist, or it uses like javascript. So I’m wondering if there would be, today, something you could recommend that is FOSS, 2D, has sound&music maybe a menu interface, effects…, isn’t an obscure, old or too new language (like Lua or Rust, sorry!) and works out of the box for PC and Android.

I’m willing to ponder web instead of PC but I’m not willing to go the javascript route :-).

Thank you for your time!

Cheers

Valmond

    Rust is newish but it’s not going anywhere anytime soon. If you’ve got the chops to work directly in code without a built-in editor, try Bevy. Seriously. It’s the future of game dev.

      My man, I love your optimism :-)

      Thanks for the IDE tip though, was thinking about compiling Lemmy one day and if I understand it correctly it’s written in Rust?

      Edit: seems like its not a standalone IDE.

        I meant level/scene editor, not IDE. Bevy has neither
