What about Wicked Engine?

Wicked Engine

Code base really small because it develop by solo developer with help from some volunteer contibutors. Support DirectX12 and Vulkan. There is editor for edit and save scene file but it's not finish yet so you have to mostly add features that you want by yourself beside rendering part. https://github.com/turanszkij/WickedEngine

I just ran across the Wicked Engine yesterday. It's C++, cross-platform, MIT licensed and works with both DX12 and Vulkan. I had missed it in numerous searches I had done previously, so raising it here as it seems to be easy to miss.

I'm not speaking out of my ass, either, I have very actively followed low-level development being done towards open-source engines such as Diligent and Wicked. I personally am a contributor to the latter engine, as well. It is baffling to me that independent developers don't support this platform.

If you want to make your own engine but you need modern advance graphic features out of box. I think Wicked Engine is a good choice. https://github.com/turanszkij/WickedEngine

Also, don't be like this person

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!

P.S I found these cool new engines: https://godotengine.org/, https://www.unrealengine.com/

The unreal engine code is literally on GitHub, although open-source usually refers to the licensing in which case unreal is not open source.

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.

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.

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.
