Defold is also a completely FREE industry proven 2D game engine, developed by King and source available, for anyone who's interested..
Yes that King, the ones who made Candy Crush. They made a game engine source available (open source with the exception that you can't create a competing game engine from it) with full 2D capabilities, tile map support, spine support, shaders, particle systems, UI editor, scene editor, Box 2D and Bullet for physics, hot-reloading, profiling & debugging tools, etc. It also has basic 3D support, although I wouldn't recommend it for anyone making a primarily 3D game. It's written in C++ and uses Lua as the scripting language, and it's easy enough to write native extensions for any platform's language of choice.

ValueObject
looks very neat, but it doesn't really get more OO than JavaFX, does it ? would you call this code functional & idiomatic in any relevant sense of the term? https://github.com/defold/defold/blob/dev/editor/src/clj/edi...

C# games in Godot, 2022 edition
Maybe that's typical in gaming situations, but it has a weird license: https://github.com/defold/defold/blob/1.3.4/LICENSE.txt ("the Defold License version 1.0")

Lua, Nim, and Wren for game development
If you paint by some numbers, the Defold repo (https://github.com/defold/defold) has 1k issues, and only 14 prs open, whereas the Godot repo (https://github.com/godotengine/godot) has 5k+ issues and a whopping 1.1k prs open. And a difference of 1500 contributors on Godot, versus 37 total contributors on Defold.

Ask HN: Those making $0/month or less on side projects – Show and tell
I work on a Python game engine called Arcade[1] and other projects within it's Github organization such as pytiled-parser. We also help to drive continued development and improvement within Pyglet[2]. Recently, my efforts have been focused on creating a version which can be run in web browsers by using Pyodide and WebGL[3], though that is still fairly early stages.
Arcade's primary focus is on being an educational tool for beginner programmers, so my hope is that with browser compatibility we can lower the barrier to entry further and make it more accessible and easy to get started with. In a similar vein to the goals of browser compatibility, we've recently enabled full compatibility with Raspberry Pi through the use of OpenGL ES(and this was largely only possible thanks to the huge amount of work that everyone involved in the Mesa project puts in)
I'm not the original author of Arcade, but I am a current maintainer and put a substantial amount of time into it and it's community.
