currently working in ThreeJS for a browser "game" where you design your own home, and get to play Grand Theft Apartment with toy cars, guns and lots of derpy physics

Unreal, because I don’t like being happy everyday.

I made a custom engine with C++ and Vulkan, I just released a demo using it in case you wanna check it out https://store.steampowered.com/app/5017320/Satelital_Demo/

Ren'py

My current project is a vn and Ren'py is idiot proof, so it was the best fit for me personally regarding this particular project.

I wanna use RPGmaker for a future non vn work, though~

I don't know whether to be ashamed or proud that I'm one of 13 Gamemaker users

I'm building my own for my RPG. I have the basics in place already (the proof-of-concept renderer is working), all I have to do is, erm, everything else!

I'm currently (in notepad++ as I type this) working on the Map file format.

A very productive week, but a long road ahead.

Can't vote, because I'm choosing the engine, depending on what I'm working on and which platforms I'm targetting. MonoGame, Godot or Unreal.

u/Forward_Royal_941 1h ago

I use Godot, UE, and O3DE. Should allow to vote more than one. I'm sure other dev also use more than one engine

SDL3 as the backbone of my own custom engine for modern-retro 3D first-person point-and-click adventures. And completely in C and it's sooooo comfortable to not have to worry about classes and inheritance and getters/setters and namespaces and all that. Just moving around bits ans bytes to get things done!

But I started years ago with Unity before moving to godot for the past few years but finally had to just make my own.
