Custom Game Engine | Chimera (May 2021)

Chimera is a custom-made 2.5D Game Engine written in C++ and using OpenGL. The engine supports 2D batch rendering, rigid body physics, collision detection, scene management, parenting, and full Lua scripting support available through a custom API. It provides a fully capable Editor interface through which users can develop and export simple 2D games without needing to ever touch the source code.

The engine is free and open-source and can be downloaded from the Github page, where a sample project created using this software is also included: https://github.com/Wantcha/Chimera. To learn how to use the engine, the Wiki provides full documentation on the custom Lua API and a tutorial on how to produce a game: https://github.com/Wantcha/Chimera/wiki.
