Traphouse Druglord, Our Game's Journey, Challenges, and Ending
Unity, the platform that powered our game, recently implemented policy changes and they seem to have an ethical stance that doesn't sit well with us. We will not use Unity in the future unless we need to update the most recent version, which, mostly is untested. As of now. We're uncertain about whether we'll explore alternative engines such as Godot or Unreal. The absence of recent development activities coupled with the prospect of mastering a new engine introduces a considerable challenge, making the pursuit of game development feel more distant. We're currently in the process of deciding whether we want to continue along this path of game development, but we want to encourage all indie developers!

Many popular game engines use this tiered approach including Unity, Unreal Engine, and Game Maker. However, many free and open-source software engines are released under the permissive MIT license.

What makes a good game engine? My experience so far
It depends on your needs and preferences, but popular game engines like Unity, Unreal Engine, GameMaker Studio 2, and even newer engines like Yahaha, all have their own strengths and weaknesses that should be evaluated based on the specific requirements of your project. For example, Unity and Unreal are great choices for 3D games due to their powerful graphics engines and great scripting capabilities, while Yahaha offers great functionality for people with little coding knowledge. I believe the best game engine for you will depend on your project requirements and personal preferences, and the factors I stated above. Whichever engine you choose, make sure to do your research on the features and capabilities that it offers.

balancing game mechanics for single player vs. mmo
There are several ways we can do this, and having a good understanding of the different game engines available is key. For example, GameMaker, Unity or Unreal Engine are popular choices for creating single-player games, while CryEngine, AppGameKit and even newer engines like Yahaha are great choices for MMORPGs. Each engine has its own strengths and weaknesses, so it's important to choose the right one for your game.

Tetris Development 1 - Setting Up
Instead, I was recommended Godot by a fellow developer. It is an easy-to-pickup and beginner-friendly open-source engine, which I will use to develop the Tetris game.

Ask HN: Yo wants to build a game, I'm lost. What can I do?
Godot [1] is a very nice game engine. There's a game on Itch.io that teaches the scripting language it uses [2], and a ton of great tutorials on YouTube for beginners and experts alike.

My thought on different engines
Godot Engine is a free and open-source game engine. The story started as an in-house engine of an Argentinian studio in 2007, and since 2014, it's been a community-driven project with a lot of contributors.
