    I'm ankle-deep in starting a game that is absolutely 2D and have been using Godot3 as my basis.

    Does anyone here have any input about what the best *2D* game making engine is? I've downloaded a few and dabbled, but Godot's the only one I've spent many hours in.

    When I google for 'best 2D game engine' Godot barely features.

    Any advices?

    .

    - I'm not a hardcore programmer
    - I need something with lots of youtubes and forums
    - My game is not a platformer, but is mostly easily-figurable...
    - ...but I want the option of some complex interactions
    - It'll be pixel art-based - important, because..
    - Some of the characters will be Lemming-sized, so 4x10 pixels:

    • If I get to knee-deep, I'll start blogging it somewhere :) At the moment it's a resolution with a few-to-many hours investment.detritus
    • I'd prefer to be candid about it until there's something of consequence, but I really need to know I'm not starting off down a stupid pathdetritus

    • No idea over the "best" but unreal does have a 2d component.mugwart
    • @shape - I need a game-specific framework to work in, as I'm not great at programming - Swift is a bit above my pay grade :)detritus
    • I'm under the impression Godot3's marginally better than Unreal for what I need. Think I'll stick, as all but really complex stuff seems covered.detritus
    • Thanks, both!detritus
    • I'm a fucking moron. ^ "I'd prefer to be candid" was supposed to be "I'd prefer not to be candid", which is also not what I actually meant.detritus
    • What I meant is "I'd rather just stfu until I've actually got something to show, but...".
      I am thick as shit sometimes. Often.      detritus
