Hello!

I love making games, have even had the privilege to do it “for real”. I’m looking for some game engine that I can use to make a 2D turnbased rpg game, that would compile for pc and android.

I have tried out lots of engines since a long time, and whats bothering me the most is that windows changes breaking stuff, the engine going paid or cease to exist, or it uses like javascript. So I’m wondering if there would be, today, something you could recommend that is FOSS, 2D, has sound&music maybe a menu interface, effects…, isn’t an obscure, old or too new language (like Lua or Rust, sorry!) and works out of the box for PC and Android.

I’m willing to ponder web instead of PC but I’m not willing to go the javascript route :-).

Thank you for your time!

Cheers

Valmond

    I’m not sure it fully meets the specs, but have a look at the TIC80 it’s an open source fantasy console you can write code for.

    Imagine something like a 1st generation console game system fully sypported by emulators. I’ve touched on it on a recalbox.

      Ha ha well that would be almost the complete opposite that I’m looking for :-)

      I have already worked on some of the old gen consoles and it’s fun and all but typically not portable at all.
