What are the best Engines or tools for creating a game. I work for Dreamer co, a Game and technology based in the US (www.dreamerco.tk). There we use the engine 3d (unity3.com). This engine is great for certain purposes such as the builder. In this article I am going to discuss the best game engines.

First What is a a game engine is a program or set of code that is made for certain use, such as the Half­Life engine which is made for making first person shooters. Another game engine is the unity3d engine where you start from scratch programing in javascript, c#, or boo.

The Best free game engines are (no order for best to least): Boom ­ a port of Doom code Agar ­ A high­ graphical application framework used by 2d and 3d computer games. ­ The original open­source engine from id software

The Best game engines: 1.Unity 3d 2. Torque 3d and 2d 3.C4 Engine 4.

Each one of these has their own things for what platforms they can develop for.

Unity 3d Engine­ The Unity 3d engine is a engine which can develop for the iphone/ipod touch, windows, mac os x standalone, mac os x dashboard, web­player, wep­player streamer, and the Nintendo Wii, and soon to be the xbox 360. The unity game engine is a easy to use open ended game engine. It has predefined code plus with the pro version you can have plugins for it. The unity engine has multiple version, pro and indie. Pro is for businesses with over $ US 100,000. it has more features such as render to texture, plugins, shadows, reflections, and ability for compiling for the Nintendo Wii and PC windows. The indie version has all the other features (the pro version just has more features and that is it). The downside to this engine is that you have to have a mac to use it but they are working on a windows version of it too. This engine is used by major tv networks and companies such as Dreamer co, and Cartoon Network. In Fall 2008 Cartoon network released Fusion Fall a mmo, a massive multiplayer online world, where you fight monsters. It is in a streamed web­player. The thing about this engine is the ability to use C++ for plugins and ability to obtain the source of the engine. This engine is the best all around engine for you can use it for 3d first person shooters, 2d games, and any other game.

Torque Engine ­ The torque engine, all I can say about it is that is sucks in comparision to the unity engine because there is two version 2d and 3d each one for a different perspective and they cost a lot compared to the unity engine.

Overall the unity 3d engine is the best engine for it's easy to use for the casual game developer along with it's high­level for the business. for more information on any of these engines here goto google.com and search for them they will be in the number one spot on google with their name in the url, unity3d.com etc. For more information about Dreamer co or any other thing related to this article email me @ [email protected].
