    Modd.io is a collaborative game editor that runs in browser. It's kind of like Figma for game dev.

Thank you. Engine Demo: https://www.modd.io

Hypatia is a game engine for single player 2D action adventure games. You can use it to make a game like Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons. Hypatia is aimed at non-programmers and programmers alike. I'm seeking any sort of feedback. Hypatia supports FreeBSD first, but has great support for just about any platform…
