  • MonoGame

    One framework for creating powerful cross-platform games.

  • MonoGame is an open-source framework, a thin layer of abstraction over input, sound, and graphics APIs. MonoGame lets game developers write cross platform code that will run on desktop, mobile, and console devices. Many commercially successful indie games have been shipped using MonoGame, and it's similar frameworks XNA and FNA, since 2007. MonoGame is ideal for developers who don't want an engine to dictate their decisions and rather have more control in the development of their game. It has a lot of features for 2D already built-in, but doesn't have the type of features that Unreal or Unity have for 3D out of the box. MonoGame tries to get out of the developer's way by providing only the essentials: input, sound, and drawing to the screen.

  • FNA

    FNA - Accuracy-focused XNA4 reimplementation for open platforms
