Development <a

src="https://awesome.re/badge-flat.svg" alt="Awesome" /></a></h1>
<p>Curated list of resources related to the development of game engines
(tools that improve and speed up game creation). Specifically toward the
development of high-level, fully featured game engines (e.g., Godot /
Unity).</p>
<p>This includes things typically not found in low-level game engines,
app / game frameworks, or graphics libraries (e.g., MonoGame / SDL).
Most importantly of which would be a visual scene editor, but also
capabilities like scripting, physics, asset management, special effects,
monetization, etc.</p>
