Good 2D Game Engine

[MrWorldBerg]

Looking for a Good Game Engine for making 2D games?

Unity is the best option for any sort of 2d venture, Unreal looks better for 3D though.

I've done a couple decent side scrollers in Unity for my computer science classes.

True I would go with Unity, but my computer has 2GB of Ram

Scratch..?

[MrWorldBerg]

Scratch is too basic for my needs

I would upgrade your computer first.

Game Maker works though.

That was mainly sarcastic, but whatever. LibGDX might work?

Oh I heard of Game Maker but heard I have to learn a Language, or can I use JavaScript

Game Maker is a drag and drop thing, it does have a option to add code but it is a different language.

[MrWorldBerg]

So, would the drag and drop be good or should I learn the language? I am ok with both

Learning a language is always the best way to go as it gives you unlimited options provided you know what you are doing. I would go with Unity. The engine ran fine on my old computer with 4 GB of RAM. I know you have half that, but you should at least be able to manage for long enough to get an upgrade.

Gamemaker GML. But after all your posts and topics, I doubt you really want to learn programming.

[OhadShwartzman]

Look- you want to make games?

Learn some languages(I recommend java or python), make text based games, and then go on to make games with premade engines, I also saw your other posts, and Im also referring to them.

 

Programming and game development is hard and especially hard to learn, else everybody would be doing it.

If you dont want to spend time learning and working. I suspect that this buisness isnt exactly for you.

[Bsmith]

well what do you demand, what do you expect and what do you know?

all these things can help pointing you towards a certain engine or just steer you away from it.

Can you give some more info maybe?

I found a Game Engine. GameGuru, for now! I will upgrade to another engine later! Thanks to all that posted!
