GDevelop is an open-source game engine focused on making 2D game development accessible without prior coding experience. The engine runs in the browser or as an installable app and uses web technologies such as WebGL, JavaScript and WebAssembly. Users can build games via drag-and-drop level design, an Events system of conditions and actions, or by adding extensions and JavaScript for more advanced logic. Export options include web and Android builds, and the company says roughly half of users export to Android. The project has hundreds of games in its showcase and notable successes such as Vai Juliette, which reached top free charts in Brazil and exceeded one million downloads. The team of six is now building a company around the project while keeping the engine MIT-licensed and exploring paid services (one-click export, ad integration with revenue share) rather than selling a commercial engine.
