Although the game engines Unity, Unreal Engine and, increasingly, Godot tend to dominate in the indie games space, they’re not the only options. And for artists who are looking to hop the fence and try making games themselves, the LÖVE engine, which utilises the easy-to-learn Lua programming language, could be a fantastic way to get started.
The LÖVE engine isn't the first software for game development to open up up video game creation to more people, including artists, but it does bridge the gap between no-code platforms and more complex engines. In doing so, digital and 3D artists can pick up coding the easy way.
