This get's the award for the cutest engine.

Oh nice. I've been looking for a 2D Godot alternative. I like Godot, but there are a thousand little things that irritate the crap out of me (Insanity by a thousand rain drops). I'll have to check this out

I got this engine since first versions before 1.0, its amazing to see how much its evolved for just one developer game engine, Comigo made an amazing job on that engine, i think its pretty suitable for small-medium games

totally agree on the lack of "cancel" buttons as you don't always want to save whatever you just did at the moment, that's a really weird solution

Thanks for tipping my off on this one. After using GM for a few years, Its nice to have a system that just works. GM syntax is similar to JS so migrating to CTJS is very smooth. Its not perfect, but it just works. Using rooms as GUI layers is great. Areas needing work: sub-classing and inheritance, custom vars and code in room editor, ability to view code from multiple areas at the same time....

Godot is an awesome engine that has everything great going for it, but I am predicting that it too is going to have competition in the form of engines like this; once some of the bugs and problems are fixed with this engine. And this is just ONE engine of many that will probably come out.

Awesome! I watched your old video on it a little while ago, nice to have an up to date one

You should check out the asset "OneJs". it somehow uses preact and tailwind to make a ui. i dont know about performance but you can make the most awesome ui much faster than any other tools.

Wow
I was really looking for a good Pixi based game engine
Thought the only option was GDevelop

[disruptive_innovator]

Those are valid points with the UI. This looks fun though, I'll check it out.

I tried this quite a while ago, but it was not feature-complete enough and I just couldn't make it work for me like some other engines. But I might take another look at it now that it seems more mature, so thanks for the reminder...

[MetalSonicReject]

This looks like a fun and easy engine to use. What platforms can I publish my games with this engine?

[Ambratolm]

We really need as much game engines as JS frameworks to choose from for all tastes.

[anon_y_mousse]

Call me insane, but I'd love to see a 3D game engine written in pure C. I'm honestly thinking of taking on that project myself.

[Cerbyo]

looks promising but the inability to easily test what I'm doing would be a dealbreaker. I guess I'd have to test it myself to see if what u are saying is true or not on that front.

[ShiloBuff]

I love options and competition, but how can engines like this even compete if its trying to be streamlined? I can only see these engines being niche or for personal use. Am I missing something?

[MigratedToHatManMusic]

I am still mad at this guy for saying that the way most people in america say Z is wrong.

[Ratstail]

Where do you find these engines? I wonder if they have any actual userbase...

[sicfxmusic]

I think I'm "DONE" with ct.js 😅😅

Good grief, yes we know about the lack of cancel button. It is vastly more annoying hearing you bang on every 10 seconds about it than the actual thing itself.
