CLUSTER CREATING-CROSS-GAMES · 12 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2018-07-02

Cross-platform game engines

This cluster covers cross-platform game development tools, including engines, runtimes, and reimplementations, aimed at creating 2D and 3D games. Entries are dated sporadically from July 2018 to June 2026, with most months having a single addition and May 2026 seeing two, giving a thin and irregular timeline. Godot Engine, OpenJKDF2, and TheXTech lead on activity signal.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 12 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
