antgame.io VS GDevelop

Then may I introduce you to the best free ant game: https://antgame.io/

How to implement this properly and make it fun, too: https://antgame.io/

Github link is here.

You can play at AntGame.io and the source is on GitHub. I've been working on the game on and off for about a year an a half now. I'm pretty happy where it's at and consider it pretty much "finished" (as much as a side project can be). I'm especially happy with how the anti-cheat system came together. I'm not sure I'd call it 100% foolproof but I invite anyone to poke at it and try to get a cheated run on the leaderboards (as long as you tell me how you did it afterwards). Details on how the system works can be found in the README on GitHub. I'd love to hear any feedback or questions you've got!

Also, the game is entirely open sourced on GitHub for anyone that wants to check out the code.

You can play the game at AntGame.io. It's also open sourced on GitHub.

The game is also completely open sourced. You can check it out on GitHub.

https://gdevelop.io/ <- free, very easy

It's not as monolithic as you'd think. There are lots of engines out there but their communities aren't very vocal compared to Unity, Unreal, and especially Godot's community.

Take a look at: https://itch.io/game-development/engines/most-projects

And

https://www.gamedeveloper.com/blogs/the-generous-space-of-al...

If you look at both of these you'll see just how many engines there are and neither of these cover everything. There are plenty of engines popular in the Python community that no one outside of it are aware of. Such as Arcade [0], Python-Tcod [1], Ursina [2], UPBGE [3], and Panda3D [4]. But based on your description you'd really like https://gdevelop.io/. It embraces exactly what you're describing where you can build a game but just installing entire features others have made and put online into your game.

[0] Beginner friendly 2D library:

[1] Rougelike: https://python-tcod.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

[2] Beginner friendly 3D engine (built on Panda3D): https://www.ursinaengine.org/

[3] Blender Game Engine Fork: https://upbge.org/

[4] Highly flexible code first 3D engine: https://panda3d.org/

I'm not really a game maker, but would like to give a shout out to the fabulous https://gdevelop.io/

It has everything you need, is free and its VISUAL PROGRAMMING is fab...

After they switched to a monthly/annual subscription fee with the release of construct 3, I pretty much threw in the towel and switched over to Gdevelop.

Open source, completely free, and I can run it as a native application on my computer versus a weird web app. The idea that my game is basically tied to a SaaS is just not OK for me.
