Top 23 C# Game Projects

• OpenRA

  Project mention: Incel in r/moderwarfare gets called out for being an Incel, then proceeds to harass a women who is looking for a women lead community to avoid getting harassed. I can't make this up. | reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama | 2021-06-09

  It's one of the three modules of OpenRA, alongside the original Command and Conquer and C&C Red Alert 1. RA1 is the main module (obviously) but the other two are fully playable.

• MonoGame

  20 7,545 7.9 C#

  One framework for creating powerful cross-platform games.

  

  Project mention: What programming language, library, etc should I use? | reddit.com/r/gamedev | 2021-06-08

  You want a minimal library that gives you a solid base to implement your own systems, and also in C#? Probably the Monogame Framework. It's what games like Celeste, Fez, Stardew Valley, and Streets of Rage 4 were made using. If you want a few of the "standard" game engine systems pre-built but not to the same extent as something like Unity, most would recommend adding the Nez Framework as an accompaniment to Monogame.

• Scout APM

  Sponsored scoutapm.com

  Scout APM - Leading-edge performance monitoring starting at $39/month. Scout APM uses tracing logic that ties bottlenecks to source code so you know the exact line of code causing performance issues and can get back to building a great product faster.

• osu

  78 7,248 10.0 C#

  rhythm is just a *click* away!

  

  Project mention: Commercial use of homebrew ROMs | reddit.com/r/MAME | 2021-06-12

  Stepmania also allows commercial use - read this for more info. There's also OSU, which is another Rhythm engine which you can use commercially - https://github.com/ppy/osu/blob/master/LICENCE.

• Entitas-CSharp

  2 5,096 1.0 C#

  Entitas is a super fast Entity Component System (ECS) Framework specifically made for C# and Unity

  Project mention: Guides and tips for making a game engine in C# | reddit.com/r/gameenginedevs | 2021-04-08

  For examples I usually turn to GitHub. It has numerous C# game engines. However, I find it easier to figure out implementations myself and use other engines only for API inspiration. There are also several C# ECS such as Entitas and DefaultECS that you can use if you do not want to create you own.

• Hearthstone-Deck-Tracker

  2 4,377 8.7 C#

  A deck tracker and deck manager for Hearthstone on Windows

  

  Project mention: Is there a way to export your card collection on mobile? | reddit.com/r/hearthstone | 2021-05-27

  That's not what I meant. What I mean is on websites like hsreplay.net where they have a link to download a tool that allows the site to view your collection so you can see if you have the required cards from the website instead of having to copy it and make a deck to see if you're missing some of the cards

• open-project-1

  5 3,728 9.8 C#

  Unity Open Project #1: Chop Chop

  

  Project mention: C#/.NET engineer to Unity. Any list of general skills I should pick up in the transfer? | reddit.com/r/Unity3D | 2021-06-03

  Learn best practices for structuring Unity projects. Unlike typical C# software many Unity games don't use any kind of dependency injection (although there are libraries for this). Instead understand how the editor inspector or methods like FindObjectOfType can be used as a form of dependency injection. Also, understanding how to make use of ScriptableObjects will help a lot with decoupling systems. Lastly, it will be beneficial to have an intuitive sense for how prefabs, game objects, and components all work together. Unity has recently been developing an open source game project that will let you see a more concrete example of what a full project might look like.

• Stride Game Engine

  4 3,104 9.0 C#

  Stride Game Engine (formerly Xenko)

• Thrive

• BEPUphysics

  1 926 6.7 C#

  Pure C# 3D real time physics simulation library, now with a higher version number.

  

  Project mention: Early Demo of Dynamic Blocky Lighting System | reddit.com/r/VoxelGameDev | 2021-03-20

  I use https://github.com/bepu/bepuphysics2. I haven't worked with 3d physics engines before so I can't really comment on it's quality but it is definitely an impressive project! The developer is very active and helpful and some of the demo scenes are pretty large and complex.

• Zenject

  3 893 0.0 C#

  Dependency Injection Framework for Unity3D

  

  Project mention: How to establish proper communication/information links between various objects without too many dependencies or too many singletons? | reddit.com/r/gamedev | 2021-04-24

  Look into dependency injection, like Zenject. https://github.com/modesttree/Zenject

• fungus

  1 841 3.9 C#

  An easy to use Unity 3D library for creating illustrated Interactive Fiction games and more.

  

  Project mention: TIL Ink Fungus Combo | dev.to | 2021-03-23

  The thing about Ink is its Unity integration is rather barebones. However, Fungus has a lot of dialog UI and other hooks, ready to be used. So what if Ink could be read by Fungus...it should be possible to parse/convert Ink into Fungus-Lua. I once converted a Ren'Py story into Fungus-Lua so converting Ink to Fungus-Lua should be doable. Fortunately this is not necessary because the Ink-Fungus Gateway exists! With it, a Gateway system is used to make both systems work with each other.

• OpenSAGE

  3 786 9.5 C#

  OpenSAGE is a free, open source re-implementation of SAGE, the 3D real time strategy (RTS) engine used in Command & Conquer: Generals and other RTS titles from EA Pacific. Written in C#. Not affiliated with EA.

  

  Project mention: THIS MONTH IN OPENSAGE - An Unofficial Update on the Progress! | reddit.com/r/bfme | 2021-05-02

  First - What is OpenSAGE? Right now, installing the BFME games is hard, and massive improvements are limited because of how the game was built. If you've heard of BFME Reforged, they're creating a brand new game - But OpenSAGE is creating a compatible version of the game. Think of the original BFME like Internet Explorer, and OpenSAGE as Google Chrome. It will revolutionize the original games!

• MDK-SE

  26 631 3.8 C#

  Malware's Development Kit for SE

  Project mention: Does everyone just *know* C#? | reddit.com/r/spaceengineers | 2021-06-02

  I didn't know C# when I started playing SE but I do work as a programmer IRL. Basic coding knowledge with a lot of hand holding from Visual Studio + Malwares MDK goes a long way

• Barotrauma

  9 613 6.3 C#

  A 2D online multiplayer game taking place in a submarine travelling through the icy depths of Jupiter's moon Europa.

  Project mention: So i have read that nuclear shell are very powerful and have a 50m radius explosion, and so it must be detonated far from the submarine. But we have such a small range with the railgun not even 20m! How are we supposed to do? Shoot in the dark? | reddit.com/r/Barotrauma | 2021-05-02
