Other Game Engines

The last game engine we will consider is Godot. Godot is a 2D and 3D, cross-platform, free and open-source game engine released under the MIT license. It was initially developed for several companies in Latin America prior to its public release. The development environment runs on multiple operating systems including Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Here is the official site for Godot:

Here are a couple of good tutorials on Godot.

What I like about Godot is that it is open source, has a tremendous community supported development (just like Python), so bugs are fixed and the game engine is continuously improved. Also, Godot’s natural programming language is very similar to Python, rather than C# in Unity and C++ in Unreal.
