instead VS lovr

Adventures can be saved and launched locally using the player on your smartphone or PC.

It looks like you are describing the Instead Engine and some additional modules to it.

I think it will be clearer from the documentation.

Well, I read this - https://github.com/instead-hub/instead/blob/master/doc/stead3-en.md Creating a game through the modelling of the world.

Happy Adventure Building! If you suddenly want something more powerful - https://github.com/instead-hub/instead/blob/master/doc/stead3-en.md

For example INSTEAD Engine - docs, game examples.

Huh, this is a task for an advanced programmer. But. You can take a ready-to-use engine for text games if your task is to make the game, and not to learn a programming language. For example: Instead Engine - docs, game example (download, play online)

I think you should look into a text-based game engine that already has all the classes you need to implement. For example Instead Engine. The documentation for this engine gives a good idea of the required framework. In addition, the minimal console implementation of this engine contains only 100 lines of code.

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.
