The UI is divided into 2 parts: on the left (1/5th of the screen) the project tree, on the right the tilesets making up the map with their characteristics (name, description, location, associated music, patterns, etc.) and one map (3/5th of the screen) among 5 (5 tabs) being edited, composed from the tilesets.

📚️ A libre and multi-platform engine & development environment for 2.5D Action-RPG games  (not limited to Zelda games). The engine supports heavy computations and low-level operations, so the developer can focus on the logic of the game, based on Lua scripts. These scripts describe the behavior of enemies and actions, and bidirectionally communicate with the engine (which can also trigger scripts according to particular events). It has been put to the test in 6 published games, and 6 more are in development.

🔧 Solarus 2.0.2 is out!
This new bugfix release brings stability improvements and multiple fixes reported by the community.

#Solarus 2.0 выглядит здорово! :neofox_floof__w_: Этот игровой движок отдаёт вайбами #GameMaker из прошлого десятилетия, поддерживает Lua и имеет необходимый для построения карт из паттернов инструментарий.

Solarus 2.0 - Release Trailer

tilvids.com/w/dV6YxxedGnYaYnyd

Solarus is a free, open source, 2D game engine primarily designed for creating Action-RPGs (often called "Zelda-like" games) that is written in C++ and allows users to script their game logic using Lua. It is considered open source because its code is publicly accessible and can be modified and distributed by anyone under the GPL v3 license.

Creemos que la mayoría de jugadores estarán de acuerdo con nosotros en que tanto Bloodborne y la saga Zelda son videojuegos excelentes.

Y esa misma opinión la debió tener el desarrollador Max Mraz al crear Yarntown con el motor libre Solarus. Este juego es la perfecta mezcla de como se vería Bloodborne si fuera un juego al estilo los Zelda clásicos de la Super Nintendo.

What is your alternative to Unity Game Engine?

Please share your #game #developer experience.

Boost is very appreciated.

Comments available below.

#Unity #Alternatives #FreeSoftware #Godot #GDevelop #Ogre3D #Cube2 #Solarus #Poll

Following #unity 's pricing changes, why not trying to switch to a free open-source #gameengine ? 💰

Nowadays, some are as advanced as Unity, such as the great @godotengine for instance! 👍

And for your 2D project, you could even try #solarus. You'll be welcomed by a generous and warm community. 😀

Ocean's Heart is the first Solarus game to be released on Steam and Nintendo Switch, and it just hit the 100k copies being sold! 🥳
Congratulations to Max! He made a fantastic game! 👏
