  This is great. All their detection logic is open source: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/FileDetectionRuleSets https://github.com/SteamDatabase/FileDetectionRuleSets

  Huh. They’re sorted by rating. And like 7 of the top 10 Godot games are about cats.

  Fascinating, and if I go to their tech home page, I see this ranking for which tech powers the most games https://steamdb.info/tech/ https://steamdb.info/tech/ Unity 38437 Unreal 10504 GameMaker 4130 RPGMaker 2700 RenPy 1973 Godot 922 So there are 4x more games made in Unity compared to the runner-up Unreal. And both of them dwarf Godot which is the only other name I recognize in that list.

    GameMaker is a 2D game engine used by a number of highly rated indie games like Undertale, Hyper Light Drifter, Katana Zero, and Risk of Rain. RPGMaker is a piece of software that lets you make top-down JRPGs generally in the style of the 2D Final Fantasy games. Because it takes that opinionated approach it's widely considered very easy to use. You're not fiddling with e.g. a physics engine when you know what genre and style of play you're doing doesn't need it. Likewise RenPy is designed to make it simple to build Visual Novel style games, and as the name implies it uses Python, so between using an easy, popular high level language and taking an opinionated approach tailored to one genre/playstyle, it's a highly productive and approachable engine for newcomers and indie devs with limited time.

      Ah, my bad. Source-available, not Open-Source
