Not only Unity...

I would say to Unity developers, don't use Godot.
For 3D games, check out the engine: Stride Engine or Flax Engine.

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).

Allegro library website redirected to anti-Kotaku Nazi-related page
Some nutjob has taken control of https://liballeg.org to redirect it to some anti-Nazi page that mentions Kotaku, comparing them to nazis.

Self taught developers, what did you know when you started?
C, C++, Allegro, SDL, Some rudimentary SQL, Some basic BSD Sockets. But I also took some time to learn 3D math, trigonometry and linear algebra so I can include some basic 3D examples in my portfolio. I was later told that it was the 3D math that made the difference because if I (barely finished HS) can do that I can probably learn everything they give me.

Recourses to make games like they did in the 90s?
Wow, DJGPP and Allegro (still going!), that takes me back - that and Bloodshed IDE were my weapons of choice back then!

Looking for a very basic 2d graphics library
allegro 5 is quite alright with fonts
-
What are some cool modern libraries you enjoy using?
allegro5 is a great rendering library if you want to get something 2D on the screen fast
-
Are there other examples of people who made games with their own engines like Minecraft ?
Hell, their website says in the first few sentences it isn't an engine.
-
Where to start?
A while ago I was getting started with the Allegro5 game engine (+Rust bindings). It's the same engine used for Factorio. I wrote a simple egui-integration to have nicer UI options. It was mostly for myself and is thus poorly documented but maybe you get some ideas how to make it work.
