I'm not sure if there's a complete list to be found, but engines usually have a showcase section on their website:
- Godot: https://godotengine.org/showcase/ https://godotengine.org/showcase/
- Löve (doesn't have a separate page, but showcases a few games at the bottom of the page): https://love2d.org https://love2d.org
- DragonRuby: https://dragonruby.org/toolkit/game/samples https://dragonruby.org/toolkit/game/samples
- Haxe (though not an engine per se): https://haxe.org/use-cases/games/ https://haxe.org/use-cases/games/
- winrid 3y agoAlso LibGDX - many of the games are Very Positive or Overwhelmingly Positive on Steam, too: https://libgdx.com/showcase/ https://libgdx.com/showcase/
- glimshe 3y agoI've used LibGDX a few years ago. It was easy to create a basic game, but it seems to be moribund today. Most of the showcase projects are 4-5 years old.
- spencerflem 3y agoLibGDX is still alive and well, and just released a new version recently. The API is relatively "finished" which imo is very nice and means old tutorials still work, and there's some exiting things maybe happening with getting the kotlin version to work on web without GWT (which is java only)
- glimshe 3y agoThis is cool, is there even a mildly successful recent game made with it?
- winrid 3y agoSandship (not sure when released) was updated in Feb and has over a million downloads: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rockbite.sandship&hl=en_US&gl=US&pli=1 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rockbite.s... Zombie Age III has 10m downloads. Deep Town: Idle Mining Tycoon has 10+m downloads (updated this year). Space Haven is from 2020 with over 6k reviews on Steam. (Open Source) Unciv has 6k stars: https://github.com/yairm210/Unciv https://github.com/yairm210/Unciv
- glimshe 3y agoCool! Thanks for following up. I wonder if there is a room for LibGDX going forward now that Godot is getting big. I expect to see some consolidation among open source engines, with Godot becoming the big all-purpose engine and things like Love and Ren'py for more niche use cases.
- spencerflem 3y agoGodot and LibGDX have pretty different goals, I don't see them as competing
- winrid 3y agoGodot is very different. It's closer to a Unity competitor. Most games, should go with Godot. LibGDX is more low level. It's like a java wrapper around OpenGL with some nice libraries for: math/sprites/algorithms/gc-friendly data structures/other structures (octrees etc) and abstracts away platform specific details in most cases so you can have the same code for android/ios/desktop/web. Ingress is also LibGDX, but they switched to Unity for Pokemon GO.

- debaserab2 3y agoDragonruby isn’t OSS.
- sxn 3y agoyou’re right, I misspoke. Thanks!
- ge96 3y agoGodot is crazy, might think simple 2D games but no it can be used as a VR compositor as well edit: well compositing may not occur on its own but Godot VR is a thing/easy starter
