I just want a free game engine that I can release a commercial game with that isn't unity(I've been having a problem with for the past couple months, I've complained to unity, and they just tell me to buy unity 5(I don't have the money to do so)). I also would prefer a really good VIDEO tutorial to go along with this, but that is optional.

Thanks in advance for any help.

For mobile development, or?

If you go mobile, try Anarchy Online. Looks like a real piece of work. And it seems it comes with Beast renderer, so it's like what the commercial version of Unity offers. Yeah, Unity staff is amazing. Greatest assortment of douchebags on the planet. I've gone from liking Unity and even praising it to complete disregard for the engine. A lot of that has to do with Unity's dimwitted staff and forums.

If you can spare 20$, get a monthly subscription to Unreal Engine 4. It's the best engine I've seen, although there may be some problems I've yet to encounter. You will have a working version of U4 and if there is some major update, subscribe again and download the newest version for 20$. The reason I liked Unity were:

- Marketplace
- easy to work with

The marketplace is ruined by their staff, which can't tell a realtime model from a bucket of snot. And the workflow in Unreal 4 is at least as good as in Unity. And those new materials in Unreal are amazing and just simple to understand (especially, since you can use almost all the old info about building shaders for UDK, too). And Unreal has a marketplace now, although it is not nearly as large as Unity's. But here is an engine with a complete toolset, great lighting and functionality, versus Unity, only half and engine, which requires you to buy everyting else you need from external sources. I'd go with U4 every time.
