Hello everyone!
I'm looking for game engine with following traits:
- Multi-platform target - android, windows phone, windows, maybe linux, ios, consoles [must have]
- GUI, network modules [must have]
- Used with C# or C++, maybe other languages but not java [must have]
- Free for commercial use (the game may be sold on android market etc.) [must have]
- No need for fancy 3d support, good 2d support is enough [should have]
- Access to low level parts of engine (more like XNA than Unity's scripts)
- Sound module [nice to have]
- Possible to integrate with 3rd party modules or has own module for ads [nice to have]
For now I've checked MonoGame and Unity but first one miss the GUI module which is kinda game-breaking for me since I hate to implement GUIs and Unity has weird licensing and I remember it more as scripting framework which is something I don't want. For Java there's LibGDX which is great library but I've been traumatized by java so I don't want to use it for now ;)
PS. The game I design may be created with GUI only but I don't want to close my way for possible improvements that would require some fancy stuff.
The libraries/engines I've considered but rejected (please prove me wrong):
- Unity - weird licensing (?), not really low level access to the game engine (from my past experiences few years ago) but mostly scripting
- LibGDX - java
- SFML - lacks good GUI support (?) and android support
- MonoGame - lacks good GUI support
