Every Game Engine Explained In 9 Minutes (Part 1) 

MISTAKES in the video: Getting Over It was NOT made in Godot it was made unity. The Next Penelope was NOT made in GDevelop, it was made in Construct 2. Whoops 😅 PART 2: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CW02ymWKSxM.htmlsi=nifJvYGzcqZlICsc

No wonder we still didn't get Half Life 3. Source engine stopped at 2

You forgot to mention that Godot can also be programmed in C++ and C#

i dont see geometry dash here

“Roblox Studio isnt an engine” Scratch: you literally put rectangles together

You forgot to mention that Godot has a first class support for C#. Literally the reason why most Unity refugees pick Godot. Wtf man

Yknow what, at this point, I’m just gonna raw dog Vulcan or OpenGL until something shows up on screen

I love how everyone is using this layout now not for making quality but for just teaching.

You forgot the greatest engine, the Blender game engine from before 2019 😡🤬 In all seriousness I found the video very fun and informative 👍

As the #2 GDevelop developer, I really loved the part of the video where you went "it's gdevlopin time" and gdevelopped all over the way

I am one of the six people who use GDevelop.

Hello hello I’m one of the 6 GDevelop users in tthe wild 👋 In fact I’ve been using the engine for 4 years now, while I haven’t released any major projects I got a big one in the works. And I think GDevelop is great for both new and advanced developers! With behaviours and bla bla bla I’m not actually trying to convince anybody. If you wanna start making games most engines are good

One of the six GDevelop users. Pretty good transition engine into a more advanced one.

Clickteam Fusion was the first non coding requied game engine out of all those engines. Its first version comes from the 90's with the name klik&play It had a lot of other, better editions starting with klik&play, the games factory, the games factory 2, multimedia fusion, multimedia fusion 2 and finally clickteam fusion 2.5. It also allows you to create simple 3D games by its extention called firefly

Mentioning rpgmaker without mentioning oneshot is criminal

Quick correction: minecraft was built with LWJGL, which is a library, not a framework

There's Also Ren'py! people made lot of visual novels using that engine, it uses python language and the most notable game made by that engine is DDLC!

Source is also used by Respawn Entertainment, Titanfall, Apex Legends Source 2 also used by Garry Newman for S&box.

Too many mistakes in the video and few important details about at least a few of the editors I know about. The Next Penelope was made in Construct 2, not GDevelop. It's on the main page of construct's website.

4:39 If scratch didn't exist I would not be here

1:20 NO! Getting Over It was made with Unity Engine!

I wish you would bring up more notibles so people know about them more, aka pizza tower was made in game maker and Omori was made in RPG Maker

Fun Fact: Titanfall 2 is a Source game...

Really informative and underrated video, i especially like the animations

I like how you went from source and Gmod to construct

Godot also support multiple languages, and other popular games have been made with it. Best examples would be Cruelty Squad, Cassette Beasts, Dome Keeper, Endoparasitic and a whole bunch more! Also, I'm hella curious how you would explain the Cocos2d engine.

amazing video short but informative for each engine ty for the help

Scratch is really limited, but there's many scratch mods that have way more features, such as Turbowarp, PenguinMod, Gandi IDE There's also some games made with Turbowarp on steam too

fyi, sonic colors ultimate uses godot as its graphics backend. the main engine is hedgehog endinge (sega's engine)

Waiting for bevy to end up on one of these lists one day

Thans alot! I started learning coding but I don't think I am very good at it. I wanted to make a little game for a long time to get some experience and you made best recommendations in 9 minutes! Keep it up man👍👍

As someone who grew up with Scratch 2, Game Maker (old version) and RPG Maker XP, I am excited someone finally talks about the two most underrated game engines: Scratch and RPG Maker

What about Roblo-

8:50 - This is SO BASED moment, it's totally accurate Oh, and also... you probably should have included Cocos in this video? Geometry Dash and Plants vs. Zombies were created on Cocos, so it's really an iconic engine... But so unpopular and forgotten, which is kinda sad.

The background music makes me feel like I'm at an Olive Garden devouring all the bread sticks

Man GDevelop was actually my first game engine after switching rfom Scratch when I was 14. I used for maybe about 3 or 4 months to make a 2d platformer inspired by Mario galaxy (it did not go much farther than character movement lol). After that I switched to Unreal Engine (version 4.20 at the time) and bought a course on how to use the engine. Never switched ever since although I did try Unity but it felt kinda messy with the logic of creating abstract scripts that you attach to whatever actor you want (plus prefabs were confusing). Very good video, what an awesome way to discover your challenge ! Though I disagree GMS2 is now the best for 2D games, I think Godot has become (or at least will become) the new standard for 2D games seeing the controversy about the "new" pricing plans for GMS2

I am GDevelop user and i have my first game released.

Construct 3 can do 3D about as well as GDevelop can. In fact the two are so similar they're nearly interchangeable in many aspects. The best engine is the one you can use and get comfortable with, and one whose capabilities suit your goals. For me it was Construct 3, but I'm currently studying Unity and Unreal.

Julian's editor: You dare challenge me?

Cryengine is also used by prey 2017, and i really think it pushes the capabilities of the engine, specially with the “looking glass” fake windows (they are windows but don’t show what’s actually behind them and you can have broken ones showing both the 3d environment and the 3d projected environment) the typhon in general have a LOT of particles per character, and that’s also the case with “coral” weave formations, the game is eye candy and doesn’t stutter at all

you forgot the only notable PhaserJS game: vampire survivors !!

I use GM and GDevelop. Probably an extremely rare case. There are six of them, and I am one)

I absolutely love videos that start discussing the title subject immediately. Always gets at least a like and a comment from me.

Sonic Colors used a heavily modified version of Godot specifically made just for that game port, the original creator of Godot himself said that it shouldn’t be considered as a game made in Godot

never felt so satisfied, when the only 2 engines i use is unreal and gamemaker

"Source was developed for Valve by Valve" Huh... nope. Source is the evolution of GoldSrc, which in turn was a heavily modified Quake engine, *licensed* from id Software by Valve.

I remember downloading a virus on a school computer when they gave us access to Scratch on programming lessons

I was hoping for Diesel Engine to appear stating the infamous "Payday 2 was devleoped on a racing game engine" line :P

Whares minecraft command block

When the gigachad Roblox Studio isn’t present

Defold is my engine of choice! It can do 3d and they're trying to add more support for it

It's worth noting that while many non-Valve games run on Source, almost all of the notable ones that do so originally started as Source mods, such as The Stanley Parable, which you mentioned, which was originally a mod for Half-Life 2. The same goes for other games like Black Mesa (plus, this game is a straight up remake of the original Half-Life) and debatably Garry's Mod, though that could be argued to be a Valve game since its Steam release was published by them. However, its original release was a free mod made by Garry Newman, hence its name. Source's precursor, GoldSrc, is also worth a mention. This was a heavily modified version of id's Quake engine best known for being used to create Half-Life, its expansion packs, multiple Counter-Strike games and Team Fortress Classic (a remake of the original Team Fortress mod for Quake). Similar to its successor it's a very popular engine to make mods for, such as Cry of Fear, They Hunger and USS Darkstar.

Roblox studio when literally every single programmer forgot it exists.

Gdevelop user here

2:28 I've worked on a couple Source Engine games and I've never seen this UI before (I have seen some of those windows in other Source SDK applications, though).

Glad to see frameworks covered, i saw libGDX in there which I've used in the past.

comment what engine you want for part 2 👇👇

**Every** game engine? Are you sure?

I can’t wait for guinea pig parkour!!!

I'm one of the 6 using GDevelop right now.

Where is roblox studio 😭😭😭

You forgot to mention that GameMaker Studio was the engine behind Undertale/Deltarune, Pizza Tower, IMSCARED, and many other significant indie games

i like the ending, referencing matpat. Also, major game engines like frostbite,havok,renderware all seem to be missing, expecting part 2

I compiled a list of every notable game engine I could come up with that was missing from the video. Probably still some I'm missing, but I thought it would be a good idea to have them all in one place instead of spread around in hundreds of comments. Various engines: - Stencyl - UPBGE (Blender Game Engine) - Pygame - Ren'py - Source Engine 2 - TIC-80 Quite old engines - Build engine (Duke Nukem 3D) - Goldsource - GZDoom - Quake Engine Some lesser known engines: - LÖVE (Mari0) - Cocos2d (Geometry Dash) Not technically engines: - HTML games - Flash Games (RIP Miniclip) - Havok (Physics, cloth, and AI engine) (From Animal Crossing to Armored Core) Games within a game: - Roblox studio - Game Builder Garage - Dreams Proprietary engines: - Real Virtuality (ARMA) - RAGE (GTA) - RE engine (Resident Evil) - id Tech (Doom) - Creation Engine (Skyrim/Fallout) - Frostbite (Battlefield/Battlefront) - Snowdrop (The Division)

YO! Wheres Roblox Studio at

what about UPBGE, armory 3d, range engine and torque 3d ?

For part 2 you should include the OHRRPGCE - the Official Hamster Republic RPG Construction Engine. It basically ran in a DOS style window and never got any real GUI interface as far as I'm aware, you navigated entirely by keyboard

"Notable games created in Unreal Engine are Fortnite, Gears of War and Bioshock Infinite." Yeah, and, y'know, Unreal Tournament.

The next penelope was made in Construct 2, not GDevelop

You Forgot To Mention Clickteam Fusion Cost More Then My Left Arm. Now My Right Arm... Thats A Different Story...

Good vid, but there are many more engines like O3DE, Coppercube, Bevy and many many more. Still cool vid!

I missed Ren'Py on the list, although I know there are many engines out there. It uses python, it's simple but also very flexible and powerful for creating visual novel games. A notable game made with Ren'Py is Doki Doki Literature Club.

💪

I use gdevelop, I am struggling to learn godot because I want to go 3d.

RPG Maker XP in specific has it's own wrapper called Pokemon Essentials - this has been used to make not too few Pokemon fangames, such as Uranium, Infinite Fusion, and the Touhoumon romhack-inspired standalone, Touhou Puppet Dance Performance.

I can't wait to learn something more complex than scratch (have been using it for almost 6 years now)

What about GZDoom?

you forgot the best game engine vim + gcc

This video needs to have a list of what Dev Engines / Game Engines are free and what aren't. Some of those ones, including the one you recommend at the end, have gone to subscription-based only or pay-per-download!

My few nitpicks: 1. The various games listed in Unreal were made with DIFFERENT versions of Unreal. Bioshocks run on UE2.5 (AKA Unreal Tournament 2k4 engine), GoW on UE3, and Fortnite originally on UE4, now UE5. 2. Counter-Strike was not a Source-engine (HL2 engine) game, but a GoldSource (HL1). Only CS:Source (2004) and CS:GO ran on Source. The new Source 2 that fuels HL Alyx and CS2 is a whole new beast. Also, as an ages old user of ClickTeam apps, I highly recommend switching over to Gdevelop5. It's essentially the same, but F-R-E-E.

Getting over it was made in unity, honestly the fact that you got that wrong made me question the validity of the rest of the video

Some corrections: Unreal's blueprint is not always for people who cannot code. It is good for quick prototyping and it is way better than C++ for managing references to textures, meshes, paryicle systems etc. The counterstrike you showed was not made in Source, but rather in the GoldSrc engine.

Tomorrow starting my first big project! Wish me luck!

Nice video

GDEVELOP FTW!!! Also love that u didn't mention how C3 also supports 3D

i guess RenderWare coulve been in this list, due to how popular it was between GTA, Sonic and many other games for the 6th generation of consoles (GameCube, Dreamcast, XBOX and PlayStation 2)

You should make a part two and cover other game engines, like RenderWare or MonoGame.

not mentioning fear and hunger in the rpg maker section is wild

Did you know, because of the success of FNAF, its various fan games that have spawned as a result of FNAFS success are also (primarily) made in Clickteam Fusion?

Scratch is what got me into coding, Unity is what’s helping me learn coding, and Godot is where one of my favorite games was made (Lingo, a 3D word puzzle game)

keep in mind scratch is hella powerful with turbowarp, you can literally recreate doom on it

Would like to say, Corpse Party isn't actually an RPG Maker game, outside the PC98 version no version of Corpse Party uses RPG Maker, the PSP and original Steam version uses an in house engine and the 3DS and the more recent 2021 version uses Unity

Unity, popular since 2005, is a leading game engine for 2D/3D development. Unreal Engine, by Epic Games since 1998, excels in graphics. Godot, open-source since 2014, is user-friendly. GameMaker Studio, since 1999, is accessible for 2D games. Source, by Valve since 2004, offers extensive control. Construct, user-friendly since 2011, is known for games like Guinea Pig Parkour. Cry Engine, by Crytek since 2002, excels in advanced rendering. Scratch, MIT-developed, is beginner-friendly for education.

What's more impressive about minecraft is that it didnt use a framework for its rendering. Notch straight up wrote OpenGL code that directly talks to the drivers.

I think there should be a separate video that explains some frameworks like monogame.

GDevelop is pretty good, you can implement more advanced things pretty quickly also I can not believe how expensive Construct 3 is, free version is mostly useless

This what object classes in scp must be

Scratch carries the stereotype of not being a serious game engine, but it has advantages other than ease of use. Scratch can run in-browser unlike most other engines. Plus, it looks 2D at face value but people have figured out how to make 3D engines. Games such as Geometry Dash have been recreated almost indistinguishably, and it is possible to make a 1:1 recreation of Minecraft.

GDevelop mentioned!!
