Defold
Free, small and truly cross platform game engine
Defold is a free, open-source, cross-platform game engine designed for building 2D and 3D games on desktop, web, mobile, and consoles from a single codebase. It comes fully featured out of the box with a visual editor, code editor, debugger, and native extension support, requiring no setup or registration. Backed by the Defold Foundation, it is free forever with no royalties or runtime fees.
Developers download the Defold editor and write game logic in Lua, then build and publish to any supported platform from a single project with no external tools required.
