# Game Development

Engines, level and sprite tools and the software used to build 2D and 3D games.

- [Best Game engines](https://listme.name/best/game-engines.md): Game engines differ most in the language you write in, whether they suit 2D or 3D work, and how their licenses take a share of revenue. This ranking weighs licensing and platform reach first, then tooling and maintenance.
- [Best Pixel art and sprite editors](https://listme.name/best/pixel-art-and-sprite-editors.md): Pixel art editors differ most in whether they draw single sprites or tilesets, whether they run in a browser or on a tablet, and how their licenses treat the code. This ranking weighs sprite and animation tools first, then platform reach, license and price.
