hey #gamedev people, anyone have small game engines you like? I like messing around with smaller programs like that so i wanted to see if you have any favorites! things outside of the popularity bubble of godot, gamemaker, rpgmaker, etc

like as an accessible engine for newcomers, its great, but also being able to make, test and play new games for my gameboy color is like. the coolest thing ever
I'm having a blast making PICO-8 games, the engine is small and cozy, token limit forces you to not overscope and actually finish something and the community is amazing! 🔥
I don't know if you'd call it an engine, but I've been using React-Three/Fiber; there's a library called Three.js that lets you render 3D scenes on an html Canvas. React is a popular web dev library. This combines both (sorta), letting you use React syntax to create & manipulate a 3D scene
I'm working on the Nya Engine, not really usable for making games but you can code and place objects in it so far so... That's good enough for me to be proud of it

Also twine is a really neat tool! The different programming styles it supports are cool
https://narrat.dev looks neat
