GDevelop 5 es un buen motor de videojuegos. Está enfocado a la creación de videojuegos 2D y 2.5D. Creo que le deberías dar una oportunidad a GDevelop 5.

I used many of the Engines^^ Clickteam Fusion 2.5 have problems with games that use a lot of videos and big music files. Construct 3 also have problems with big games. And Godot i don't understand the nodes in Godot. Is there any Powerfull 2D Game Engine without code that are Open Source ? I loved the programming of Construct 3 but Construct 3 make problems when you have many video files in your game, that will crash it and you can not export anymore. I also tried Gdevelop 5 but the programm crash's so often. I only build 1 Level with Music in Gdevelop 5 and the engine crash.
