OGRE
scene-oriented, flexible 3D engine (C++, Python, C#, Java)
OGRE (Object-Oriented Graphics Rendering Engine) is a scene-oriented, flexible 3D engine written in C++ designed to make it easier and more intuitive for developers to produce games and demos utilizing 3D hardware. The class library abstracts all the details of using the underlying system libraries like Direct3D and OpenGL and provides an interface based on world objects and other intuitive classes. We consider the results of our GL3Plus RenderSystem as the gold standard. The respective shaders are generated by the RTSS component with per-pixel specular lighting. Therefore the legacy render systems naturally have differences due to the use of fixed-function. However, when rendering diffuse surface both produce pixel-perfect results. Simple, easy to use OO interface designed to minimise the effort required to render 3D scenes, and to be independent of 3D implementation i.e. Direct3D/OpenGL. -

Redot Engine
Multi-platform 2D and 3D game engine
Redot Engine is an open-source game engine that aims to provide a flexible foundation for building games — likely offering a modern, modular structure so developers can compose only the systems they need (rendering, physics, input, scripting, etc.). It is built to give a base framework rather than a full “batteries-included” engine, which makes it suitable for developers who prefer minimalism, want complete control over architecture, or desire to build custom workflows. Because it’s open-source, Redot-Engine is potentially community-driven, allowing anyone to inspect, extend, or customize core functionalities. Its modularity and open nature make it attractive for indie developers or hobbyists who want to avoid heavyweight engines with lots of built-in assumptions. Even if the engine may not yet rival more mature engines in features or polish, its openness and design philosophy can offer an appealing balance between simplicity and flexibility. -

macroquad
Cross-platform game engine in Rust
macroquad is a lightweight, easy-to-use game library for the Rust programming language, offering developers a relatively simple and streamlined path to build games across platforms. The library is heavily inspired by simpler game frameworks (like raylib), but brings the ergonomic and safety features of Rust to 2D — and some minimal 3D — development. With Macroquad, you don’t need to worry about low-level graphics plumbing: it handles window and input management, rendering, UI, and more, letting you focus on game logic. A strength of Macroquad is its cross-platform reach: it supports desktop (Windows, Linux, macOS), web (via WebAssembly / HTML5), and mobile (Android, iOS) without requiring platform-specific code. Compilation is relatively fast with minimal dependencies, so small projects or prototypes can spin up quickly. Because it’s “batteries included” for common tasks (rendering, drawing shapes, text, basic UI, game loop), Macroquad works well for rapid prototyping. -

Android Game Engine
Multi-threaded game engine for Android
AGE is a multi-threaded game engine for Android with OpenGL ES2 shader-based rendering. In-depth GL knowledge isn't necessary to start; use the OBJ loader to import models from Blender and elsewhere, attach textures, and start rendering! Threads run different activities, e.g. initialization, framerate, timer, game cycle. Apartment model with message passing. The drawing cycle is inverted from typical game loops. Framerate has a dedicated timer, and SurfaceView is in on-demand rendering mode. Game Objects (GOs) opt-in to services by implementing the "marker" interface for each one it wants. GOs enter the system via Install Pipeline, an asynchronous "standard" implementation that keys on the marker interfaces and performs the "protocol" for that marker. There are also Event and Uninstall pipelines. Reference by name is encouraged. A trip through the pipeline includes a Bind Name List; allows GO to connect to interfaces in other GOs on the other End. -
