I discovered this game framework today through a Mastodon link. It seems to be a serious game programming framework written in C++ and Lua to make 2D games, it has a graphical editor and it's open-source.
I'm confused because I have never heard about it before yet it is at least 7 years old. The web site contains a lot of Zelda clones, and may have been used to create the game Ocean's Heart.
This looks interesting. I've made a few small Godot projects, it will be interesting to see how this compares. (Godot also supports 3d games but I've only tried 2d). One thing that is a little...

I've made a few small Godot projects, it will be interesting to see how this compares. (Godot also supports 3d games but I've only tried 2d).
One thing that is a little off-putting is that the home page contains a lot of images with Legend of Zelda style art, and even has the phrase "Legend of Zelda" in the familiar font several times. I'm not a lawyer, but this seems infringing to me, even if the documentation stresses that the engine does not use any copyrighted assets. It's clear they they are representing that the community is encouraged to copy artwork style and possibly ROM assets. They probably shouldn't do this, and should probably then remove all the ""Legend of Zelda" advertising from the home page.

Has anyone tried it yet?
If I recall, coromon was written in this and it’s a really impressive game.

IIRC the engine was literally built to make a minish cap clone.
