Are you looking for a FREE game engine to create both 2D and 3D games with advanced features and the ability to export your completed game to just about any platform? Do you want an engine that you can program, script, or visually program (whichever you prefer)? Then the game creation tool/engine you are looking for is Godot! Check it out here: https://godotengine.org/

Looks interesting. I might play around with as it seems somewhat lightweight.

Have you looked at Godot 3 at all? What missing tools and editors? In reality, it's missing as much as Unity or Unreal in that you still need to create your assets somewhere else, such as in a 2D paint program, like Photoshop, or a 3D modeling app, like 3DS Max. But you have the editor where you can add your graphical content, be it for 2D or 3D, and a full coding environment, including the ability for visual coding (mainly for non-programmers). Godot does not appear to be "lightweight" at all, actually. Have you looked at the feature list? Read about it here: https://godotengine.org/article/godot-3-0-releasedWhen it comes to 3D, it features things found in AAA engines, such as: PBR Rendering: FULL PRINCIPLED BSDF: Global Illumination: Mid and Post Processing: GPU Particles: GLTF 2.0 SUPPORT: [img] https://godotengine.org/storage/app/media/3.0%20release/gltf.png[/img] And so much more! And, best of all, it's open source and free, including exporting to just about anything: Mobile platforms: iOS, Android Desktop platforms: Windows, macOS, Linux, UWP, *BSD, Haiku Export to the web using HTML and Web Assembly One-click deploy & export to most platforms. Easy to create custom builds too. I would highly recommend you check it out.

I actually doubt that engines can provide better modelling/painting tools that other products such as 3DS Max or blender that specialize in these areas. So in that regard, I prefer to use external programs to do these jobs. What I do think, however, is that the easier you can import these assets and get them working, the better. Also, by "lightweight" I didn't mean a lack of features, but something that isn't as bulky and stubborn as unreal. Like having the option to only use minimal features and create a small application / extend on it with your own stuff.

Hi Kartoffel, With "lightweight" I was really responding to sivan, who said: yeah but sometimes it takes longer to make something with a lightweight engine, than with a heavy one, because of the missing tools and editors... Also, I was not at all indicating that Godot, or any other engine, be a replacement for tools like 3DS Max, Photoshop, etc. I think you understood that, but I wanted to be clear. However, since Godot supports both Collada and glTF 2.0 scenes, then it should be extremely easy to get assets into Godot for use.
