“Developers who want to accelerate game development
benefit enormously from tools known as game engines. This type of
software application helps games to be coded efficiently and easily
without compromising on its quality. Game engines employ
state-of-the-art technology to ensure that developers can
concentrate on generating new scenery, models, and sounds, or to
put an alternative spin on existing game material.

“To be eligible for inclusion in this list each game engine
needed to meet the following requirements:

“Free to use without restrictions

“Not in the early stages of development

“We have included OGRE and Irrlicht Engine in this feature even
though they are technically graphics engines rather than game
engines. However, they warrant inclusion because whilst they do not
offer a complete solution, they represent first rate engines for
creating games with first rate graphics.”
