Hello!

I love making games, have even had the privilege to do it “for real”. I’m looking for some game engine that I can use to make a 2D turnbased rpg game, that would compile for pc and android.

I have tried out lots of engines since a long time, and whats bothering me the most is that windows changes breaking stuff, the engine going paid or cease to exist, or it uses like javascript. So I’m wondering if there would be, today, something you could recommend that is FOSS, 2D, has sound&music maybe a menu interface, effects…, isn’t an obscure, old or too new language (like Lua or Rust, sorry!) and works out of the box for PC and Android.

I’m willing to ponder web instead of PC but I’m not willing to go the javascript route :-).

Thank you for your time!

Cheers

Valmond

    Have you considered Godot? I don’t have any real experience with it, but from what I gather, it’s FOSS, seems pretty popular and well supported, definitely supports 2D (also 3D but you don’t care), can export to Android or web, as well as PC, and doesn’t use any of your “blacklisted” languages. It uses its own python-like script, or you can use C#, and there’s extensions for others.
