I started down my career path to make games. I have never really made anything good. I think I am finally fed up with not doing this. So I am going to be working on selecting a game engine. I want 3D, I want to experiment with voxels, I want a permissive license, I don't want something huge, I want to contribute back in a meaningful way, it needs to support 3D. So after looking around I found Godot. Another programmer who lives near me uses this as well.

Does anyone else have some good positive experience with game engines for smaller projects? I have played with UE4 and Torque3D/2D. I don't like the bloated feel of UE4 even though its a very cool engine. I didn't like their install system at all. T3D is old and not up to date.

    Godot is catching on, and looks to be pretty excellent at maximizing individual contribution. And it won't eat your market share and control your distribution channel like UE perpetual license.

    Godot would be a good engine if you want to contribute back. I can't say about 3D but Godot works pretty darn well for 2D used it to make a Bullet Hell shooter didn't run into anything major. I love it for 2D over Unity as of time being.

    But personally if you want to make a smallish/largish 3D game I would recommend Unity3D. It has way better UX over Unreal and pretty easy to get into. Plus Unity with their recent versions have open-sourced a lot of their stuff on GitHub. Also, you can get a lot of help if you run into problems.
