awesome-ebitengine VS lovr

Hey, author here. I am glad to answer any questions.

Ebitengine is a blast to use as a game developer, and if you are at all considering trying it out, please do. The awesome-ebitengine repository links out to a lot of helpful developer resources:

I have been a happy user of Ebitengine for several years. If you are interested in seeing the source of some games created with it, check out the awesome-ebitengine list.

https://github.com/sedyh/awesome-ebitengine

All of the games listed on my itch.io profile were created using Ebitengine, and they are all open source.

This is a list of released, open source games created in Go using the Ebitengine game engine:

Also here is a list of gamedev libs for Golang. Most are engine agnostic: https://github.com/sedyh/awesome-ebitengine

Awesome Ebitengine

There’s a graphics library https://github.com/hajimehoshi/ebiten that is fairly popular. Someone has a list of projects using it https://github.com/sedyh/awesome-ebiten

Awesome Ebiten, an index of useful resources for anyone interested in Ebiten.

I haven't used many engines, but I've been programming some simple games with LÖVE [0] and (to a lesser extent) LÖVR [1] and like them both.

But maybe not real game engines, as you need to do quite a bit of work by yourself. I guess it depends what your definition is of a game engine.

not to mention there's LÖVR as well if you want to 3D

As for your question - yes, it's possible to develop for the Quest. The website has information on how to do that.

lovr.org - VR game engine with lua

I'll add LOVR (https://lovr.org/), the 3D analog to LOVE. Haven't used it personally so ymmv.

If you are into VR, I'd try lovr.org. It allows you to build VR apps with just lua code.

Personally I found LÖVR [0] easy to use, based on Lua.
