Android(安卓)game engine list

16lz 2022-01-12

In an effort to help everyone, from the single person developing games to the indie team coming over to Android, here is a list of resources that you may want to use. Please note I personally don't have experience with all of these so this is in no way a recommendation to use something, everyone is different and with that in mind, you may like one particular resource over another. If you know of a resource that isn't listed here, let me know and I'll add it. These are in no particular order:

Scoreloop

What it does: Scoreloop does a lot actually. While not only adding social elements to games such as achievements, rewards, high score boards, and Facebook integration they also have other services to help you be successful as a game developer for Android such as offering in-game paid content and currency. This is what as known as a Freemium business model where your game is free but extra content and features, bonuses and more can be charged for in-game whether the user just pays money or buys in-game currency and uses that to purchase the extras you make available. Lots of games right now are implementing Scoreloop.
