DragonRuby Game Toolkit is a commercial-grade, yet beginner-friendly, 2D game engine. It's tiny (~3MB), fast as hell, and cross-platform. The Standard License is a one-time purchase and includes support for PC, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi, and Web.
Made for Indie Game Devs that want a powerful game engine that's royalty-free, fast, productive, and easy-to-use.
Features
Dirt simple, data-oriented APIs capable of creating complex 2D games.
Fast as hell. Powered by highly optimized C code written by Ryan C. Gordon, one of the juggernauts behind SDL (the tech that powers thousands of games, triple-A game engines, and the Steam client).
Battle-tested by Amir Rajan, a critically acclaimed indie game dev with titles built with DragonRuby on mobile and the Nintendo Switch.
Tiny. Like really tiny. The entire engine is a few megabytes.
Hot loaded, real-time coding, optimized to provide constant feedback to the dev. Productive and an absolute joy to use.
Turnkey builds for Windows, macOS, and Linux with seamless publishing to Itch.io.
Cross-platform: PC, Mac, Linux, Raspberry PI, Web, iOS, Android, Nintendo Switch, XBOX One, and PS4 (mobile requires a Pro License, and console compilation requires a business entity, and NDA verification; contact us at [email protected] for more info).
The Standard license is a one-time/lifetime purchase. Indie and Pro licenses are subscription-based but come with some incredibly powerful features.
