Hey all, Ive been thinking for sometime I want to switch from Unity for 2d based games.<\/p>\n

Ive used Unity for 2 LD’s and I used XNA prior to that and what I found was that while Unity is perfectly capable and in some cases awesome for 2d it feels like im fighting with the engine to craft my game.<\/p>\n

Ive done a little research into 2d javascript game engines and decided this is the way I want to go.<\/p>\n

Crafty, Melon and Impact pop up quite a lot and of course there’s Construct2 but I think I would prefer more code control. I would also prefer open source, some of the above being licensed.<\/p>\n

I would love to here your recommendations for a 2d javascript game engine \":)\"<\/p>","time":"February 15th, 2013 4:25 pm","title":"Time for a change"}
