Move over Godot, you aren't the only open-source game engine in town. Maratis is also free and open source!
Maratis is a portable, simple and visual game development tool designed for artists and developers.
The Engine has been tested on Windows, Mac, Linux and iOS and can be used virtually on any platform.
Features
- Editor based environment
- Light and powerful Engine (MCore + MEngine), portable, both previous and next generation (Fixed pipeline and Shader based pipeline)
- Per pixel lightning, custom shaders (glsl), normal map, dynamic shadows, animated meshs…
- Blender exporter, native mesh format with animation (materials, textures, shaders, armatures)
- 3d formats import (Collada, obj, md3…) through Assimp
- Multilayered uvMaps (custom multitexture, baked light map, etc)
- Bullet physics, 3D sound, Font system (can load TTF)
- Standard image and sound format (TGA, JPG, PNG, WAV, AIF, OGG…)
- Lua scripting language
- C++ SDK
Another of the lesser-known game engines, sadly it doesn't seem many people use it, but someone requested it to get a shout-out so here it is! Anyone ever touched Maratis before?

Found this a while back when using Ubuntu 13.04, couldn't get it running right. I could get the demo up, but that took a day. The documentation is seriously scarce and it's up to guess work where to put things. Moreover, I couldn't even manage to import my 3D model from Blender.
Maybe the newer version is better, but if it's as difficult to use as when I last tried it I can't regard Maratis as good as Unity 3D or even Leadwerks.

So your point is invalid. I'd rather use the shittiest of shitty engines than develop games on Windows or Wine.
