You should try Godot. Open source and extremely lightweight compared to Unity and Unreal. It's pleasure to use, none of the baggage of the other engines. I'm a patron contributor. Fantastic for hobbyist tinkering and also viable for full blown commercial games.

- wilonth 3y agoYeah Godot editor is snappy and smooth, unlike Unity and Unreal. However Godot's 3D and physics implementation leaves a lot to be desired. Not sure if Godot 4 solves those issues.
- mackatap 3y agoFor a solo indie dev it is far more than enough. There are solutions to any physics problems you encounter. The 3d in Godot 4 is quite beautiful
- elefanten 3y agoCan you share any references for finding the top quality or best known games made using Godot? I haven’t looked in a while.
- sunnybeetroot 3y agoThere is a decent showcase page on their site https://godotengine.org/showcase/ https://godotengine.org/showcase/
- belugacat 3y agoThe most visible title made with Godot in the last few months I can think of is Brotato. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1942280/Brotato/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/1942280/Brotato/
- durumu 3y agoAnother fairly popular one is Dome Keeper: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1637320/Dome_Keeper/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/1637320/Dome_Keeper/
- XxDeathManxX 3y agoHere are some games created using Godot that you can find on Steam: https://steamdb.info/tech/Engine/Godot/ https://steamdb.info/tech/Engine/Godot/ If you prefer, there's also a collection of Godot games on Itch.io: https://itch.io/games/top-rated/made-with-godot https://itch.io/games/top-rated/made-with-godot Personally, I highly recommend checking out Cruelty Squad: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1388770/Cruelty_Squad https://store.steampowered.com/app/1388770/Cruelty_Squad - It's a fun game with a unique art style.

- GentlePossum 3y agoWhen I was moving away from Unity I looked at Godot and really liked it. It's nowhere near as performant or feature rich as other engines and it's future is undecided but it was fun to tinker with and get things moving. I hope to return to it in the future. The lack of easy testing made me not use it. There were a couple testing plugins users had made which could kind of do unit and integration testing but they were super finicky.
- m4nu3l 3y agoNot sure when you last tried it out, but GUT (Godot Unit Test) is what I use and it integrates very well with the IDE.
- GentlePossum 3y ago3.4~ as they were preparing early 4.0 releases was when I was experimenting with godot. I should add that I was specifically trying to use c# ecosystem for godot at the time and their plugins for testing. Since I ended up with Unreal I'm refreshed enough in c++ that I might check Godot 4.0 out this weekend again.
- m4nu3l 3y agoOK, I have no idea about C#, I use GDScript and C++. All my tests are in GDScript.
