> That's not to say that you couldn't write a commercial game engine with something like C# that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with unity and unreal, but it doesn't seem like anyone has attempted to do so. Stride should mostly fit the bill: https://github.com/stride3d/stride Their homepage: https://www.stride3d.net/ Even the physics engine they use is in C#: https://github.com/bepu/bepuphysics2 Not a very popular game engine (never got the attention that the likes of Godot did), but it's nice to work with! It’s up there with Stride in regards to the “indie” game engines I like, maybe alongside jMonkeyEngine (since you typically don’t see that many Java game engines either).

Also check out Stride3d https://github.com/stride3d/stride, which is a more full featured engine built on (i believe) Monogame. Runs on .net 10

Yeah I think Unity just doesn't have the technical skillset anymore to make the migration to coreclr. It keeps getting delayed and their tech leads keep dropping out. Might I suggest https://github.com/stride3d/stride, which is already on .net 10 and doesn't have any cross-boundary overhead like Unity.

There is https://github.com/stride3d/stride which should be pretty close to what you are looking for :)

Pretty much every non-GUI (and GUI if it's Avalonia/Uno/etc.) .NET application, unless it uses niche things like windows registery or management API, is by definition platform agnostic and runs wherever .NET runs (macOS, Linux, FreeBSD(with caveats), Android, iOS, Windows, sometimes in browser with WASM). Most businesses which have moved away from old versions run their server workloads on Linux hosts within K8S or otherwise. Popular applications that run on Linux are Jellyfin: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin Sonarr (and other High Seas apps): https://github.com/Sonarr/Sonarr Ryujinx: https://github.com/Ryujinx/Ryujinx (the kind of project that could likely compete with writing a browser in complexity) Bitwarden (server): https://github.com/bitwarden Garnet: https://github.com/microsoft/garnet (likely the fastest Redis implementation

The other big news item is the fact a former Stride dev is making the editor cross-platform by using porting the WPF code to Avalonia. https://github.com/stride3d/stride/pull/2034

Please correct me if I am wrong, but from a bit of looking around it seems Stride is using Mono as a runtime for on mobile platforms like iOS. [0] So similar to Unity (which worked around this using their IL2CPP backend) it actually is behind Godot in terms of C# language / feature support. It is true that Godot community only started to get serious about C#, but they have a good pace, and already have support for the latest .NET with AOT. Personally I have no interest in GDScript, but I recently ported a rather large C# code-base from Unity to Godot and I never had to touch GDScript. So it can happily be ignored. In general it took me less time to rewrite the code-base then implementing some of the workarounds for missing features in Unity (e.g. HTTP2) in the first place.

> ...you are requested to delete The Machinery source code and binaries. This is pretty weird. Then again, in regards to the engine itself dying, I feel like this is inevitable for many of the projects out there. For example, there was the Xenko engine which was later renamed to Stride: https://www.stride3d.net/ It's actually a nice project, has lots of great features and feels like it should be a more open alternative to Unity, whilst being similarly easy to use. However, compare the attention it is getting in comparison to something like Godot: - https://github.com/stride3d/stride - https://github.com/godotengine/godot On OpenCollective, Stride has an estimated annual budget of around 12k USD, whereas Godot gets around 15k USD per month on Patreon. Stride has a bit under 100 contributors, Godot has almost 2000. Godot gets hype on v

Check out https://github.com/stride3d/stride It's MIT and fully written in C#.

If anyone has decent experience in C#/.NET and/or graphics programming, you are welcome to join the developer team of the Stride game engine. https://github.com/stride3d/stride The code base is already mature and very professional. The quality standards are fairly high, but that's a nice challenge and you can even learn a lot, depending on your level of experience. As for the history, Stride was developed commercially by Silicon Studio for about 10 years but couldn't complete with the big two on that level. So it was open-sourced about 3 years ago and the main developer is still maintaining it, but he has a full-time job. The team isn't very big yet, but quite capable people. It's a great product and the only truly open-source C# game engine with a high-end render engine and proper asset pipeline. The shader system is the best I've ever s
