About
ArcadeMaker is an open-source 2D game engine written in C# that includes its own custom scripting language, prototype-named Exp, along with an integrated IDE for writing and running games. It currently uses the MonoGame backend for graphics and audio, enabling exports to desktop, mobile, and console platforms, with web support planned via a KNI-engine implementation. The project is unfinished and was open-sourced by its solo developer for community contribution.
Why it made the leaderboard
Gives game developers a cross-platform 2D engine with an integrated custom-language IDE rather than bolting scripting onto an existing language, a real design choice worth evaluating for small game projects.
