I’ve created some 2D pixel assets and sprite sheets, and I’m really excited to make a game with them! I’m not super experienced in game development yet, so I’m looking for suggestions on easy-to-use game engines that are great for making a platformer. What would you recommend for someone who wants the simplest workflow and good community support?
an obvious answer would be godot. anyway, unrelated:
1. please don't make ai-generated asset packs without clearly disclosing the fact that they are ai-generated. while you came up with the idea, you did not make the actual asset, so it's like taking other people's work and then claiming it as your own, which is an action which i need not explain the immorality of. especially since generative AI "generates" images by doing a bunch of fancy statistical analysis between your prompt and a training database of millions of images and artwork stolen from the internet without permission.
2. don't submit asset packs to game jams. that is clearly not a game.
Cl. 6. All contest entries must be shared or hosted on one of the following platforms: Scratch (TurboWarp accepted), itch.io, GameJolt (web playable with HTML), or Newgrounds, regardless of the platform or software used to create the game. Failure to share through any of these platforms will result in disqualification.
it only specified that it CAN be posted to the scratch website, and the software used to make the game doesnt have to be something specific
