What engine/framework would be the best in my case?
On the technical side, MonoGame (C#), Libgdx (java) and FlashPunk (AS3) are your best guest. FlashPunk is an entirely open source game library that can teach you a lot of the logic behind games just by looking at the source code whereas in MonoGame, you have to create your everything. Bastion was made with Monogame

Alternative Game Engines for Marooned Unity Developers
Flax Engine: C# and C++, Global Illumination system, Visual scripting, Full Source Code Available, 4% royalties after $250,000 (threshold is per quarter, not all time). The engine honestly looks really good, so it could be worth taking a closer look, but does lack tutorials.

Unity Face Mass Protest After CEO Purchases Malware Company, Lays Off Hundreds, & Calls Devs Idiots
Flax (4% royalty after 100k revenue) looks to be the most Unity-like, and seems to be pretty polished, if also new and lacking features. That's all I know about it so far. Its pricing model is similar to Unreal's and, like Unreal, it's source-available (but not truly open-source).
