Videogame for a 1-year school project, what scale is realistic for a beginner? (I have several ideas)

• PhysicsExamples2D

  286 494 5.3 C#

  Examples of various Unity 2D Physics components and features.

  

A generalist engine such as Unity or Unreal Engine will take much more effort to learn and use but will allow you to choose whatever type of game you want to write and give you complete control of what your game is.

• Godot

  2,745 83,900 10.0 C++

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

  

• InfluxDB

• ink

  164 3,894 0.0 C#

  inkle's open source scripting language for writing interactive narrative. (by inkle)

  

A specialist engine such as Ren'py Twine, or Inkle for VNs; Adventure Game Studio or Visionaire for point and click will give you good results but with more limitations. These engines generally don't require coding so are suitable for artists but can often be expanded a little to support extra gameplay features. Nowhere near as powerful in general as the more general engines but easier to get something engaging from it in a limited timeframe and without starting high on the skillset. These aren't toy engines either- all of these have produced popular games when done with skill, such as the Blackwell and Deponia series.

• twinejs

  408 1,795 8.5 TypeScript

  Twine, a tool for telling interactive, nonlinear stories
