Panda3D VS PhysicsExamples2D

Panda3D (MIT/C++) https://github.com/panda3d/panda3d

For open source 3d engines that use Python check out Panda3D or Ursina. They're both a blast to use and let you write your codd how you want.

Panda3D: Let's you make games with c++ and python. I don't think there is an "editor" or anything like that with this engine, but it does look like there have been some decent games made with it. Could be good for smaller games. Modified BSD License.

I know a lot of people recommend Godot because it's super good but if you want a more code oriented and batteries included engine I recommend Panda3D [0] it's open source, super mature (it's actually one of the oldest continously developed game engines), and can be used form Python and C++. Not sure why it's not more popular it's flexiable and super fun to use.

Some of the game engines we have now have photogrammetry technology built-in, meaning that developers can easily integrate it into their games. This allows for even more detailed and realistic environments to be created in 3D games. The most prominent being Unreal, Unity, and Lumberyard -- including new and beginner-friendly ones like Panda3D and Yahaha. All of these game engines have photogrammetry at their core to help developers create realistic 3D models and textures quickly and efficiently.

Make sure to provide your junior developers or any new members with the resources and tools they need to succeed. This could include coding books (The Self-Taught Programmer was my favorite before), online tutorials, or access to development tools and software. There are game engines available that can be a training ground for new devs, some of the game engines I’ve tried are Panda3D, GameMaker and Godot. I’ve also tried newer engines like Yahaha, but this one is pretty easy compared to other engines so there’s really not much of a challenge. The point is, no matter what resources and tools you provide, make sure they are tailored to the skill level of your junior developers.

It's not my project, but https://www.panda3d.org/ is to my knowledge the next best step after Unity and Unreal game engines. Unlike those, panda is open source and available for C++ and Python.

Unity. Can't say much. It's the most popular choice for 2D game development. But somehow, my heart wasn't in writing in C#. Also, for some entirely subjective reason, I had a skeptical attitude towards the engine.

Install Unity Hub from Unity's official website.

Sooo. Unity. It's a 3D game engine created by a company of the same name. It was published in 2005 and is one of the most used game engines in the world due to its simplicity, the number of documents, and the easy way to publish games on all platforms.

Unity is a popular game engine and development platform that is widely used for creating games, as well as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) applications. It provides a comprehensive set of tools, libraries, and features that enable developers to build interactive and immersive experiences across various platforms.

Creating 3D Videos: After downloading the desired models, you can import them into 3D software like Unity or Unreal Engine. These platforms allow you to create 3D scenes and animations, which can be exported as video files.

The next step I need help with is finding the right platform to market myself on. I’ve already been recommended Unity and Yahaha. Any guidance related to these will be appreciated, and if you have experience or recommendations for similar platforms, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Also, if you really want to make a game, you could try learning C# (it's very similar to Java) and use https://unity.com/ (Unity 3D is free if you have less than $100K of revenue/funding within the past 12 months).
