In the wake of the Godot situation, I am here to recommend alternatives. Not all of these are engines. Some of them are frameworks, but all of these are FOSS and general purpose.
2D:
* SDL - https://www.libsdl.org/
* SFML - http://www.sfml-dev.org/
* Allegro - http://liballeg.org/
* Gosu - https://www.libgosu.org/
* Love2D - https://love2d.org/
* Pygame- https://www.pygame.org/
* FreeBASIC - https://www.freebasic.net/
* raylib - http://www.raylib.com/
3D:
* Irrlicht Engine - https://irrlicht.sourceforge.io/
* OGRE - https://www.ogre3d.org/
* ioquake3 - https://ioquake3.org/
* Panda3D - https://www.panda3d.org/
Both:
* MonoGame - https://monogame.net
* GDevelop - https://gdevelop.io/
* jMonkeyEngine - https://jmonkeyengine.org/
* Lightweight Java Game Library - http://lwjgl.org/

@xianc78 there is no "Godot situation" the person who runs their official Twitter account is just stupid. There's nothing wrong with the engine.
@beardalaxy Someone got blocked from their GitHub.
@xianc78 like they blocked a contributor? okay that sucks then. i still don't think there is anything wrong with using the engine but yeah there's zero reason to actually contribute if they're just blocking people.
@xianc78 unless said people are actually like flaming or something and haven't actually contributed before, because that could totally be the case too. i wouldn't want people shitting up my github repo either.
idk what's going on 100% though, i just think people are retarded and as long as the engine is free and open source using it isn't an issue.
@beardalaxy Either way, I also want to promote the little guys.
