In reply to Yen Yan. Easiest might Quest. Second would be RPG maker MV/Vx Ace.

Very helpful list. I will probably try them all, but my decision to take courses in unity development has been validated. I was not sure. It looks daunting. However, I do have considerable experience and education in programming, though I never worked as a programmer, so I guess this is right for me. I am developing for education, so I qualify to begin for free and only pay once I am actually making a profit. Thanks for the article. Well don on the writing. It is clear and complete.

It is a bit dated. Please update this. There are new things around now.

In reply to Roxanne. Oh sorry I didn't know, thank you :). Also I don't get the hype train for undertale, it's no that good of a game. Speaking of good games I am remaking zelda in game maker, you should really try making it as well, it's great for learning a lot of important mechanics, like Items, and save states.

I was about to ask how it was possible that they didn’t mention that Undertale was made with Game Maker: Studio.
Then I saw that this article was written in 2014.

Wonder why Clickteam Fusion is rarely mentioned in these list, I guess those guys have lower marketing warfare than the competitors,
though they are the oldest (Klik & Play) and the product is very strong, easy to use, and fully portable (with additional exporters).
There’s a crazy bundle right now (oct-2016) giving you everything and more, going on for just $15 on humblebundle:
https://www.humblebundle.com/clickteam-fusion-bundle

you have to check this out if interested in indie development
it’s all the complete tools for game development and exporting – lifetime license – that’s a 1000$ worth package – no kidding!

Hi David! What’s your take on Multimedia Fusion Developer? Since I started doing more than just dreaming of making games, it’s the only game development software I’ve experimented with. It seems pretty straightforward but perhaps I’ll take your advice and give GameSalad a shot.

I am about to start out education in game design in an university, after I have completed my A Levels, i.e. 10+2. I have absolutely no programming knowledge so far, but would like to start out somewhere. What should I begin with, should i learn C++? or directly jump into game design softwares listed above? I don’t want to get into the university and have no knowledge of what’s going on!

In reply to Tristen Magnoni. I just bought RPG maker MV and I am looking forward to using it. I have had this idea for a game in my head for the past 20 years and I can't wait to finally get it out of there.

I started out in notepad working in batch, then I moved on to game maker, after that Unity, and then Clickteam fusion 2.5. I still don’t know much but batch and game maker but youtube makes a big difference on learning the software and or code.

Hi David, There’s some really great engines on the list. Have you ever tried V-Play? I think it would be a good inclusion for the list. Mainly because it’s the easiest to use and most time saving cross-platform development tool, that’s according to research2guidance cross-platform development tool benchmarking at least.

I suppose the main points that I like it are that it works on all the major desktop platforms and you can deploy your game from any of them to all the major app stores. It’s also component-based and uses QML and JavaScript as it’s internal programming language, which I feel are pretty easy to learn.
