  • urho3d

    Discontinued Game engine

  • As far as an existing engine goes I would recommend Urho3D (or RBFX a fork of Urho3D) . The engine is surprisingly complete and capable and pretty slim compared to most other engines with similar feature sets. It supports scripting, but everything can be done directly through C++ as well. It has a graphical editor, but you an do everything through source code if that's your preference.

  • rbfx

    Lightweight Game Engine/Framework in C++17 with WYSIWYG Editor. Experimental C# bindings.
