A bunch of other comments threw out the Pico-8 I wanted to recommend the Tic80 as an open source alternative.

I just started playing around with it and honestly, I like it a lot.
I've never used Pico-8 before, but from what I understand the Tic80 is pretty much the same, but with about twice the 'specs' of the pico-8.
The community is a lot smaller, but it'd be awesome to see it get more support.
It gives you a nice integrated environment for code, art, SFX and music, with limitations that make it more likely to avoid feature creep and actually letting a solo dev finish a full game in a reasonable time frame.
- anta40 6y agoHmmm looks fun. I'm a mobile app (not game) perspective. For many years, I always want to make cool 3D game like GTA, unfortunately due to it's complexity it's impossible to write such game alone. Probably I'll learn writing smaller games, instead :D
- grawprog 6y agoThe thing that's been nice working on the tic80 is being able to work on both my phone and the computer it's kind of a hassle copying the cart back and forth, but it's cool being able to program features on the go.
