If you haven't already started a project then just don't use unity. There's a lot of really good stuff out there already that don't have such nebulous terms.

Feel free to send me a message and I can send you a list of alternatives. I don't consider myself much of an expert but for what it's worth I've been making games for almost 25 years.




could you share that list right here please?


Here's a bunch, in no particular order:

Sorry I should have done that from the first place.

Here's a quick one as I'm on a movie break. I'll make a note to update this in the morning.

Haxe + Haxeflixel : pixel art games

Haxe + Heaps : More general 2d/3d framework with webgl target

Godot : I havent used it personally but I've had a myriad of co-workers tell me how good it is

Monogame/FNA : Open source multi-target C# framework that more or less fits the XNA api. I love this one. Might be really good for C# programmers.


To add to this, some people I've worked with are talking about the stride engine (formally known as Xenko). MIT/C# engine


Roblox?
