skyfire Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Solar2D and RPG Maker are also good and worth mentioning. Many game developers are making use of those and wonder why they don't get much demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egghead Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 I am not a developer but as a user I think the developer should strive to create unique game. Many new games are just a copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
