The Godot engine is your open source solution for true cross-platform game development. It’s my engine of choice for 2D game development and it works well with 3D too. The release of Godot 3.0 brought a major update to the 3D features, bringing it up to speed with other modern game engines while keeping the free price tag. App Game Kit is a multi-platform game engine that is capable of creating games for iOS, Windows, Android, Blackberry, and Mac devices with smart usage of Windows or Mac development environments. This game engine costs about $79.99 and comes with several useful tools such as a visual editor. The game engine you waited for. Godot provides a huge set of common tools, so you can just focus on making your game without reinventing the wheel. Godot is completely free and open-source under the very permissive MIT license. No strings attached, no royalties, nothing. Your game is yours, down to the last line of engine code. The game engine you waited for.

What is Novashell?
Novashell is a high-level 2D game maker that tries to handle all the hard work behind the scenes allowing you to whip up sweet games using path finding, dialog, persistent dynamically sized maps with construction/deconstruction, save anywhere, and especially features that adventure and RPG type games would use. It's also built to allow easy sharing of games you make and modding of them. The underlying concept is everything is cut and pastable and can be added and removed even during play.
The worlds/games/mods it makes can be played under Windows, OS X, and Linux without changes.
Can create stand-alone games for Win and Mac, from either platform!
Or, just use Novashell's powerful map editor and the XML export option to use with your favorite game engine.
Open source under a zlib/libpng license. (more)

LITIENGINE lets you create tile based 2D games with plain Java.
Java gamesmade simple.
LITIENGINE is a free, open-source, and simple Java 2D Game Engine created by two Bavarian brothers.
The game engine consists of two components: A lightweight Java library that provides basic game infrastructure, and the dedicated project management tool and map editor utiLITI.
Development on the LITIENGINE started all the way back in 2014, and it has been made open source in 2017 under the highly permissive MIT license. You can use it entirely free of charge, modify it in any way you want, or even redistribute it in commercial products. Our software is being diligently developed by open source enthusiasts across the globe and is currently in Beta status.
One of our most important design principles is the reliance on pure Java: We keep the amount of external dependencies to an absolute minimum to maintain a tidy and lightweight library.
