Ask HN: Best engine for 2D browser game?
2 points by pram on July 21, 2021 | hide | past | favorite | 2 comments
I’m looking for opinions on the best game engines, primarily for a 2D/menu/dialogue driven type game. I am a programmer (this isn’t a “how do I make a game” question) but I am very unfamiliar with the current landscape. Is something like Godot suitable for a game this simple? Are there engines that are better suited to the browser as a target than others?


Godot and Unity will export to HTML5, and there is a Javascript-specific framework called Construct 2.

If you're talking about something like a visual novel, Godot and Unity probably have plugins for that.


Try to do it without an engine
