Ask HN: Favorite Game Engine?
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.

Is it really bad using an unpopular framework?
not to mention there's LÖVR as well if you want to 3D
-
Is it okay to ask a question about Lovr here?
As for your question - yes, it's possible to develop for the Quest. The website has information on how to do that.
- need help choosing a game engine in lua for a 3d desktop/vr game

Making a game without a pc that can run VR?
lovr.org - VR game engine with lua

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

I love Python, but I ought to branch out. I've done some stuff in C# and Java, but never as much as I've done in Python.
If you are into VR, I'd try lovr.org. It allows you to build VR apps with just lua code.
-
Ask HN: Anyone tried development using an Oculus?
Personally I found LÖVR [0] easy to use, based on Lua.

LÖVE: a framework to make 2D games in Lua
I liked working with it (the library) but learned I hate working with Lua just slightly less than I hate working with JS. At least in JS we now have TS and things like Elm.
I ended up moving to https://github.com/libktx/ktx for that little project.

🧸 Tiny : my Kotlin Multiplatform 2D Game engine
I highly, highly recommend using libKTX when using Kotlin with libGDX
- Is there a cross platform 2d graphics library with a simple API like p5
-
C++, Java, or Kotlin for a game engine?
Not sure if it's mentioned already but I'd strongly recommend LibKTX and Kotlin instead: https://libktx.github.io/

Asset Manager 1.0 Release: Download, index & search your game assets from itch.io and Humble Bundle
so kotlin is the preferred language for android development. It's fully interoperable with java and is usually touted as a better less boiler-platey java alternative. The language itself is very nice, with a lot of modern features and really nice syntax. It also has a really cool multiplatform system and a nice ecosystem for crossplatform libraries making it really nice for gamedev where you want to target all platforms. Some cool kotlin gamedev libs to check out if you're interested is https://korge.org/, https://littlekt.com/ and https://github.com/libktx/ktx (really nice kotlin bindings for working with libgdx which is a really mature crossplatform java game engine.
