Top Free Game Engine Software

If you’re an independent game developer, game engines probably feature prominently in your thinking when it comes to figuring out how to make a game. Game engines make it a lot easier to bring all the pieces together, but are no means a requirement. If you want to build everything from the ground up you can certainly make something great if you have a good idea of what you’re doing. But, if you don’t want to spend a lot of time creating a custom engine, a third-party game engine is the way to go. We decided to take a look at some of the engines we have on our site and use some of our data to provide more insight into what might work well for indie game development based on price, popularity and features.
