If you're a #gamedev working with #pixelart artstyle, and looking for an engine to use, maybe after all the #unity debacle? Then I can suggest my own.

  • Written in D (quite similar to C#, save for the underlying framework).
  • Pixel-perfect graphics, no "pixel misalignment" due to mismatched assets. - Retro-inspired GUI.
  • Unicode text rendering from real bitmap fonts.
  • Built-in palette-swap effects, real-time color lookup.
  • Relatively low overhead and footprint (3-5MB executable files).
  • Software synthesizers for audio, one even has some feline-looking sine wave.
  • No per-install monetization BS, instead you can support me via either Patreon (https://patreon.com/ShapeshiftingLizard) or Ko-Fi (https://ko-fi.com/shapeshiftinglizard)
  • Fully #opensource, you can both check what's under the hood, or even completely modify the code for your own liking.
