Hey everyone,
Did some searching around and still couldn't find much help for the question I have: What's the best engine out there for creating a 2D fighter? I'm aware of MUGEN and other engines, but I'm interested in control of my mechanics rather simple character generators. I know JavaScript, HTML, and CSS rather well, and I know just a tad of C#, although I imagine I could refresh on that language within a week. Are there any engines that comes to mind when you consider those languages?
Musician: Check!
Artists: Check!
I'm the sole programmer. Will need loads of help.
I know this is a rather broad question, so I'm sorry if it's hard to answer. Just looking for starting points.
I was reccommended XNA, but I was also told to avoid XNA because "it's dead."
I was reccommended Unity, but I was also told that Unity is overkill for the scope of my intended game.
I keep getting suggested one thing and then warned about that exact suggestion sometime after. I'm starting to get really confused and discouraged.
Thank you for whatever help you can offer me!
