engine-selection

authentic

Selects game engines and frameworks by platform, genre, and architecture (full canvas shell vs hybrid DOM shell + guest viewport). Covers Phaser, PixiJS, Kaplay, Canvas/WebGL, Three.js, Babylon.js, Godot, Unity, Ink, Twine. Use when choosing a stack or comparing runtimes before implementation.

When to use

• Use when choosing or comparing game engines/frameworks before implementation, especially for hybrid DOM+canvas or narrative-first products.

When not to use

• Does not replace platform skills (`game-development/web-games`, `game-development/pc-games`, …).
• Final choice still depends on team skill and shipping constraints.
• Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
