A few of my friends and I are intereseted in making our own small game. Each of us is rather newbish to the game design world. I know an MMO takes lots of money and a team of trained proffesionals to come into reality. Even so I do want to learn with an engine that has the ability. We would like to use C# as our language, but there doesn't seem to be many engines available for this language. The few I have looked at have negative reviews or are ports that can't compete with the current C++ engines. If you guys could recommmend a few that are steadily improving or look promising with reasonable license fees for hobby possibly indie purposes, that would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.

Have you looked at Unity?


Edit: You might want to check in the API and Tools forums which covers a number of engines
