List of video game engines

Hello everyone, today I wanted to share a list of free video game engines, mainly for those who want to create their own WG video game and don’t know where to start. First of all, 2 things, the first is that I have not tried most of these engines, I have only done a little research and tried to make sure they were free and the second is that some of them are already discontinued; We can start.

Raycasting Game Maker: it is an engine for making DOOM-type games, the bad thing is that for some reason I cannot execute the created files, it is very easy to use and from the little I have experienced it also offers fast results.
Wintermute Engine: Allows you to do point and click adventures, I haven’t tried it.
RPG Wolf Editor: It is similar to RPG Maker, only more complicated than I have seen.
OHRRPGCE: It is a tool very similar to RPG Maker, only simpler, apart from being the program with which I am most familiar.
RPG Paper Maker: Again, it is like RPG Maker, only it is made to look like paper environments, I have not tried it, however it has a free version with all its functions, the difference is that you will not be able to sell your work.
MUGEN: It needs no introduction, it is oriented towards the development of fighting games.
Godot: I think it is the most popular right now, it allows you to do both 2D and 3D, it is highly recommended.
CraftStudio: Allows you to make games with voxels (boxes) and is currently discontinued.
Ren’py: Made for the use of visual novels, it is very easy to use and you can make very professional results.
Game Editor: I’m not very familiar with it, although it may be interesting to practice.
Inform 7: Ideal for text adventures, I haven’t tried it much.
Construct Classic: The first of the Construct series, it allows you to make games without programming, it is discontinued in favor of its modern versions.
Entidad 3D: Very old, allows you to play games in 3D, discontinued.

Anyway, I still recommend doing your research if any catch your attention. Bye :slight_smile:

GDevelop is pretty new, but i’ll be looking forward to how people may end up making WG related games in it, would probably be using animation tweens alike in godot.

also huge thank you for telling about OHRRPGCE, i’m happy to have discovered it and am looking into it.

Thanks, 20 days later (ups…)

OHR is a good option if you want a easy engine. There is a wiki with many tutorials and resources.
