2D Game Engines:
- GMate
GMate is a 2D Sonic engine for Gamemaker 8. This engine is not as accurate as some of the other engines in this list, but it's worth mentioning. It's creator Shiro also did some shady things, but that's an entirely different post.
- Sonic Realms
Is a 2D Sonic engine for Unity. This is one of the trickier engines to use, as Unity uses a common scripting language called C#. It's relatively easy to learn, but can get challenging quickly.
- Sonic MAX and MAX+
Sonic MAX is a very accurate engine, but needs a lot of work. That's where MAX+ comes in. MAX+ is a more refined, and updated version of MAX+. It fixes a lot of the bugs and inconsistencies that MAX has. While also adding brand new features. If you want something accurate, yet easy to use. MAX+ is the best option.
MAX+ currently doesn't have a release date. So you'll have to wait for this one.
- Sonic Worlds
Sonic Worlds is a Sonic engine made for Clickteam Fusion. It comes with 5 characters, and an expansive test stage. This is the least accurate engine on this list, as well as the most limited. Fusion is not a good engine for fangames, but it's really your decision.
- Crimson / Chaos Engine
The Chaos Engine is a unreleased, but in development Sonic engine for the Crimson Engine. You'll likely have heard, or even played this engine in Mr. Potatobadgers Sonic Chaos remake. He's the lead developer behind Crimson Engine, and a leader of the Chaos remake. This is the most accurate engine on this list, but at the cost of being tough to learn. The entire engine is coded in C. One of the oldest scripting languages out there. It's easier to learn and understand then C#, but can be just as confusing.
This is the engine to be on the lookout for if you want something extremely accurate.
- 3D Sonic Engines
- Hedge Physics
Hedge Physics is a 3D Sonic engine for Unity. It requires the most change depending on the style of your fangame.
- Bumper Engine
Bumper Engine is a Adventure styled Sonic engine for Unity. This engine is rough around the edges, and is wildly misused, but with enough dedication, can become something great.
- DashEngine
DashEngine is a 3D Adventure styled engine for Unreal Engine 4. It's a great engine, and is absolutely beautiful, but is held back by some bugs. It's also harder to use, do to Unreal's visual scripting language called Blueprints.
- Infinity Engine
Infinity Engine is a flashy, yet buggy Modern Sonic engine for Unreal Engine 4. This is the best looking engine on the list, but is very buggy, and a mess to use. It also requires you to fix all the bugs yourself, as development of the engine has been postponed indefinitely.
