CRYENGINE VS PhysicsExamples2D

False. See for yourself. They openly state that you can "Use CRYENGINE for free. 5% royalty applies when you ship your project. Your first $5K annual revenue per project is royalty-free.".

yeah, I think you're right there. I know the feeling of being on the other side of the problem, so I can relate with the crytek guys. they need to get their shit together, sure, but they are human beings and these problems are really hard. I mean, head over to github, there's a version of the cryengine there for you to read and comprehend if you like. check out the collision detection :)

I'd wager that somewhere around 99% of games for sale on Steam from large shops to small indie games are either created with Unity, Unreal Engine, or CryEngine (Amazon's Lumberyard is a close relative of CryEngine).

I have very high hopes for Godot. Besides, if you're the sole developer of a side project, you don't want to use what the AAA titles use. Have you seen the length of the credits on those things? If that's the path you want to go down, then you might as well give the cryengine a go, get yourself a license to some mocap software, etc lol

Unreal Engine, Valve Source Engine, Crytec, and Unity are the big ones. I suspect that’s what people mean when they say this. There are a few others, but they are either used in less popular games, or they are proprietary engines that are not publicly available like the Snowdrop Engine. I know some PC games would ship with the editor too, although it’s been a long time since I’ve done any mod work, so I don’t know if that’s still the case.

The proprietary options of Unity, GameMaker Studio 2, Unreal Engine, and CRYENGINE.

Unity. Can't say much. It's the most popular choice for 2D game development. But somehow, my heart wasn't in writing in C#. Also, for some entirely subjective reason, I had a skeptical attitude towards the engine.

Install Unity Hub from Unity's official website.

Sooo. Unity. It's a 3D game engine created by a company of the same name. It was published in 2005 and is one of the most used game engines in the world due to its simplicity, the number of documents, and the easy way to publish games on all platforms.

Unity is a popular game engine and development platform that is widely used for creating games, as well as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) applications. It provides a comprehensive set of tools, libraries, and features that enable developers to build interactive and immersive experiences across various platforms.

Creating 3D Videos: After downloading the desired models, you can import them into 3D software like Unity or Unreal Engine. These platforms allow you to create 3D scenes and animations, which can be exported as video files.

The next step I need help with is finding the right platform to market myself on. I’ve already been recommended Unity and Yahaha. Any guidance related to these will be appreciated, and if you have experience or recommendations for similar platforms, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Also, if you really want to make a game, you could try learning C# (it's very similar to Java) and use https://unity.com/ (Unity 3D is free if you have less than $100K of revenue/funding within the past 12 months).
