Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • MonoGame

    One framework for creating powerful cross-platform games.

  • If you prefer a framework instead of an engine and editor they do exist, MonoGame is a popular one. I wouldn't recommend it unless you're doing it more as a hobby (in which case it's totally valid to do whatever suits you best), using engines with their editors and scripting languages is the industry standard.

  • lasercrabs

    Abandoned hybrid singleplayer/multiplayer shooter project formerly known as DECEIVER

  • My go-to example for collecting a set of libs together to make a game is Evan Todd's lasercrabs AKA DECEIVER. Check out the external folder on github: Assimp, Bullet, Recast, SDL, wwise, etc.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • Godot

    Godot Engine – Multi-platform 2D and 3D game engine

  • There are engines that gives you less solution. Like Ogre and Open3d engine. These 2 are just the Behemots of the genre. Godot is pretty good too and is open source. If you like develop in C and code 3D you could help us with the version 4.0 and have an engine that works like you want https://github.com/godotengine/godot
