    > That's not to say that you couldn't write a commercial game engine with something like C# that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with unity and unreal, but it doesn't seem like anyone has attempted to do so.

    Stride should mostly fit the bill: https://github.com/stride3d/stride

    Their homepage: https://www.stride3d.net/

    Not very popular, but it's nice to work with!

    Yeah I think Unity just doesn't have the technical skillset anymore to make the migration to coreclr. It keeps getting delayed and their tech leads keep dropping out.

    Might I suggest https://github.com/stride3d/stride, which is already on .net 10 and doesn't have any cross-boundary overhead like Unity.

  • Quick Start Guide to Stride Community Toolkit Preview: Code-Only Feature for C#/.NET Developers 🚀

    The Stride Community Toolkit is a collection of extensions and helpers designed for the Stride C# game engine. This open-source, community-driven project simplifies the process of creating 2D/3D games, especially using its code-only feature, which allows developers to build games without relying on Game Studio.

    All non-GUI .NET applications, unless they use niche things like windows registery or management API, are by definition platform agnostic and run wherever .NET runs (macOS, Linux, FreeBSD(with caveats), Android, iOS, Windows). Most business today which have moved off old version run sever workloads on Linux hosts within K8S or otherwise.

    Popular applications that run on Linux are

    Jellyfin: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin

    Sonarr (and other High Seas apps): https://github.com/Sonarr/Sonarr

    Ryujinx: https://github.com/Ryujinx/Ryujinx (the kind of project that can easily match writing a browser in complexity)

    Bitwarden (server): https://github.com/bitwarden

    Stride3D: https://github.com/stride3d/stride

    Godot (offers C# as script language, using regular .NET)

    From the top of my head, I'm sure there are many others less popular. It is sad that this conversation needs to be had 8 years after the first version of .NET (Core as it was named at the time).

    In general it took me less time to rewrite the code-base then implementing some of the workarounds for missing features in Unity (e.g. HTTP2) in the first place.

    I don't know where you have all these GC problems. There must be a problem with your design. I run real time automation stuff in C#, GC doesn't caused any problem yet. Stride3D docs says, that's if you put a lot of big objects in the heap without reusing them, you will hit big GC pause: https://github.com/stride3d/stride/wiki/On-Garbage-Collection But most of the time it's trivial to reuses those.
