Ren’Py is a free and open-source visual novel engine that makes telling interactive stories easy by combining narrative scripting with multimedia support for images, sound, and music in a way that’s accessible to both beginners and experienced developers. Its scripting language is designed to be readable and intuitive, allowing writers and creators to define scenes, dialogues, branching choices, character expressions, and events without deep programming knowledge, while still offering the ability to embed Python for advanced control and custom gameplay features. The engine handles essential visual novel conventions like save and load systems, rollback to previous text, scene transitions, and UI menus, so creators can focus on the story and player experience. ...

...Written in C++ for core performance and Lua for scripting, Luanti runs on multiple operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux, BSD variants and even Android), making it highly accessible and cross-platform. Rather than being a single game, Luanti is meant as an engine and toolkit: individual “games” are actually collections of mods — written in Lua — that define terrain, items, NPCs, mechanics, and rules. This modular design enables rich customization and community-driven content: users can install new games, mods, and texture packs via a built-in content browser that draws from a central repository (ContentDB). Luanti supports both single-player and multiplayer via servers; players can host their own or join publicly listed ones, with server-side mods being applied automatically.

...Rather than prescribing a rigid game structure, Evennia gives you a bare-bones but powerful foundation: default systems handle networking, database/storage, server management, user accounts, characters, rooms, items, chat channels, and basic commands — but you define the gameplay rules, content, and game logic yourself in pure Python modules. Because you use regular Python, you get all the benefits of a modern language: familiar syntax, standard libraries, version control, and rapid iteration, rather than a custom scripting language. The framework supports both traditional MUD clients (telnet-style) and a built-in HTML5 webclient, making it accessible to users on browsers or standard clients alike.

Provides a framework / game engine for building 2D games and includes sophisticated AI routines to manage state-driven entities and autonomous agents. Although this library makes several very powerful AI techniques available and take care of all the calculations needed to update and render the game entities.

The project implements a lightweight but powerful engine for creating turn-based games (board games, card games, turn-based strategy, etc.) in JavaScript. With boardgame.io, you define the game logic in pure functions: you describe how the game state changes when a move is made, and the framework handles all the rest (state management, synchronization, storage, multiplayer, etc.). This abstraction lets developers focus on the rules and mechanics rather than on networking, persistence or UI plumbing. It supports both local games and online multiplayer across clients, and can be used with different view layers — e.g., vanilla JS or a UI framework like React or React Native. ...

...Mostly a playground for exploring how conventional third-person gameplay mechanics found in modern games work and recreating them in a general way. Raycast character controller with capsule collisions. General state system. You can define your own scenes in Blender, and then read them with Sketchbook. Sketchbook needs to run on a local server such as HTTP-server or webpack-dev-server to be able to load external assets.
