Hey Guys, I'm making a game, but so far, im having difficult on what Game Engine is best for 2D Action/Adventure Platformers, I was thinking Unity, but from what ive heard, its better to make an engine entirely out of scratch.... got any suggestions on what game engine i should try? |

When it comes to hearing and seeing what others have experienced with 2D, I have noticed that either Unreal Engine 4, Unity, or Clickteam Fusion 2.5 have been used. I haven't heard of any other engine being used for games, quite honestly. I also have no idea how (or why) a person could create a game engine from scratch. I am very new to Game Development but maybe this may serve you a little. |

Download Construct Classic R2. It will help even if you don't know programming and it has basic mechanics that anyone can understand. |

Game Maker studio, but you have to pay to make a decent sized game, otherwise go with Unity 5 as that's free, flexible, full of online tutorials |

Unity is a generaly good pick, although some significant coding knowledge is required. Still, it's relatively designer-friendly and when it comes to 2D it can do some amazing things (like Ori And The Blind Forest for one). There's also a strong community and plenty of tutorials to cover most basic functions and even coding. |

Hi, If you can create your own Events like MouseClic/Over/Up ... on objects, and code you own GUI (Controls) like TextBox/Labels ... i suggest that you take the best library like Unity or similars If you are not that skilled because i know that GUI are realy so hard to make, unless you use a third party, i made a 2D Game Engine All-in-One called MELHARFI with these features inside : Network : for a networking game Client / Server Mouse Events : MouseClic MouseDoubleClic MouseDown MouseUp MouseOver MouseMove MouseOut, easy to associate to an object/graphic AStar pathfinding : to generate a waypoint from point A until point B, for mouvement to avoid obstacles ... 2D Game Engine : a simple and easy to use to create a game, even beginners is able to create game with the tutorials of 19 chapters for animation or text ... Encrypting / Decrypt assets : a tool is present to encrypt / decrypt your asset to avoid users to copy/modify/share your game assets. Link of MELHARFI 2D Game Engine : Wiki : Crypt/Decrypt tool : The library is under MIT license, so you can share/modify ... free It's the first 2D Game Engine using GDI+ that's why it's easy to use controls of Windows Form, and the surface for drawing is the form itself. Using C# with .Net Ftamwork 4.0 at last Edited by: melharfi |

Unreal, unity and html5 is the best game engines for 2d and 3d games. |
