I just can't commit to a 1 or 2 man show (anymore) because of the risks involved.

Totally understandable. I've been thinking of just going alone with SDL2 (using the lazyfoo tutorials http://lazyfoo.net/tutorials/SDL/)... but I really dont like C/C++!

Jay (over from SoCoder) has been creating his own engine (based on glfw I think) as well...

Then there is GoDot and Defold to consider too.

...And all those dll's?

I quite like SDL 2 and C (C++ is quite another matter) but things could be so much more simplified. I really should get on and fill the gap with my own language...Steve doubles efforts...

So far so good with AGK! SDL2 is also looking an option though...

Have fun!

@ sdl2
Make sure to get more than 2 audio streams (= streamed media like ogg-files) working simultaneously. SDL_Mixer is only capable of playing 1 stream at the same time. So you might need to create your own stuff (or to find the right libs).

Are you using the BASIC version or the C++ one?

As someone else has stated AGK is "only" supported be one developer...

@ sdl2

I've been looking at Oxygine framework which builds on top of SDL2: http://oxygine.org/ Looks pretty nice!

This is true, but it's one person in a larger company. So it's not strictly a one man show?

I know AGK supports playing multiple OGG files at the same time.. Just for the record

Ah, well that is better... looks like "The Game Creators" have a small team together so that is pretty good.
