We are always complaining that the segment of video games on Linux is somewhat poor, especially due to the absence of native titles that are still legion on Windows. Although we can enjoy many of the Windows developments thanks to Wine or Cedega, we would like to have more native games on Linux. |
1.GameMaker 8
This Windows application can be used in Linux under Wine and is especially interesting for those who are not familiar with programming, and if you want to develop a racing, RPG or adventure video game, you can do it with Game Maker 8. On the official website there are a series of tutorials and resources to help you in the task, and there is also a community of users very willing to help you. The user interface seems simple, and once you get used to them you can start taking the first steps with the simple and personalized programming language for this free distribution application. Too bad it's not a "pure" Linux application.

2.OHRRPGCE
OHRRPGCE (Official Hamster Republic Role Playing Game Greation Engine, the title was too long) is an Open Source suite for video game development that was initially designed to create RPG games in 2D. You can use the application's own language, called HamsterSpeak, although it is also possible to develop games without chopping a line of code.

3.Game Editor
This is a very popular Open Source games platform that not only allows us to create our own games, but we can also take a previous development done with this platform and modify its code to adapt it to our needs. The interface is simple and has a low learning curve, and it is not only possible to develop games for PCs and laptops, but also for mobile phones.

4.eyeGameMaker
In the original article they indicate that this is the reference platform if the important thing for you is simplicity. EyeGameMaker version 0.1 is now available for download and it is necessary to register on the sploder.com website to be able to store our games.
As its name suggests, this game development platform is aimed at programmers with Python experience, although you can actually start using PyGame to start developing games on Linux, especially since Python is a simpler language to learn than C or C ++. The developers even give access to a free online book to learn all the secrets, and PyGame also offers one more step for those who want to develop somewhat more complex titles.
