libGDX
Desktop/Android/HTML5/iOS Java game development framework
libGDX is a cross-platform Java game development framework based on OpenGL (ES) that works on Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, your browser and iOS. libGDX provides a well-tried and robust environment for rapid prototyping and fast iterations. libGDX does not force a specific design or coding style on you; it rather gives you the freedom to create a game the way you prefer. Publish your games on Windows, macOS, Linux (including the RPi!), Android, iOS, and HTML5, all with the same code base. libGDX comes with batteries included. Write 2D or 3D games and let libGDX worry about low-level details. Heavy emphasis is put on avoiding garbage collection for ART/JavaScript by careful API design and the use of custom collections. libGDX is a well proven and reliable framework with a sound base and documentation. Furthermore, there are plenty of games built on top of libGDX, many of which are open source. -

Vanda Engine
A free 3D game engine to create games and realtimes scenes for Windows
Vanda Engine is a free and open source 3D game engine for Windows. I'm developing this game engine for years to help the students and other enthusiast learn game engine programming and develop 3D games for free. While giant companies are building game engines with huge budget and a lot of manpower, I'm developing this free 3D game engine alone with no budget. I have published step by step tutorials about Vanda Engine, 3D tools, and COLLADA format: https://vanda3d.org/tutorials/ Please follow Vanda Engine on Facebook to be informed about what I'm doing: http://facebook.com/vandaengine Check out Vanda Engine website to see how Vanda Engine is getting work done: https://vanda3d.org/ It will be appreciated if you donate to this project so I can buy required software and books and hire people to produce free 2D and 3D assets and educational videos and tutorials for this game engine: https://vanda3d.org/donate/ -

KonsolScript and Game Engine
Free and Open Game Programming Language for Windows and GNU/Linux
KonsolScript is a free and open source, scripting language primarily intended for 2D games development. KonsolScript Development Team believes that the unavailability of games on GNU/Linux desktops is one of the major concerns why people keep using unauthorized copies of proprietary OS over GNU/Linux and that is something the Development Team is ought to address – we are doing our part to help promote GNU/Linux as a viable gaming platform for desktops both for Game Publishers and Gamers. The whole Game Development Kit is suitable for teaching 2D game programming. The end goal of this project is to have a common gaming platform for Windows, GNU/Linux, Mac OS, including mobile platforms like Android where any newbie can learn how to make his game/animation etc. A lot of work has been made and a lot more is to be done. It might need to hire programmers to make an engine for Android, and Mac OS, then some in-house testers for stability among these platform -

IsoRealms Spindizzy and Isorealms Engine
An isometric arcade-style game of skill, puzzles and exploration
You are cartographer for undiscovered worlds; your task is to explore and map all areas of the recently discovered strange dimension of Hangworld. In order to complete your task, you take control of GERALD. However, fuel is expensive and funding can only be supplied as long as progress is being made, so it is vital to explore new areas and recover jewels. Spindizzy is a remake of the 1986 classic computer game of the same name, originally developed by Paul Shirley. The remake features true 3D OpenGL graphics and runs on a custom-built engine called Isorealms. The Isorealms engine features a complete content creation toolkit for modifying and extending Spindizzy, as well as offering the opportunity to create entirely new projects from scratch. Isorealms content creation tools are aimed at users of all experiences, from those who simply want to build new worlds to those who want to take advantage of advanced features such as Lua scripting and custom asset importation. -
