Unity
It's Unity. It's complicated, but there are a lot more tutorials out there for Unity than there are for some simpler engines, which makes the overall learning experience much better. I really enjoy the built-in aspects of Unity, such as things like physics. I hope to learn more about using Unity, but it feels as though there is an infinite amount of stuff to learn, and that intimidates me.

Twine
I love Twine. It's a great way to create a text-based game within a browser, which is sometimes all that you need. If I have an idea for an experience that I want someone to have, my first thought is whether or not it can be created within Twine. Faithful in its simplicity, with many cool tricks I still have yet to learn, Twine is great for a quick game or getting all of those creative juices condensed into something tangible.

COLD Morning, WARM Bed is a Twine game that I made in just a few hours for Mini Jam 124: Warmth. It is a brief story about depression which utilizes text-based mechanics, such as temperature in the form of text color.

Phaser
My experience with Phaser comes from a brief set of weeks in which two of my classes involved making games with the software. However, I was suffering due to the pandemic at the time, and as such I do not have quite as much to say about this software as I would have liked. Despite the gaps in my memory, I do recall enjoying the time I spent working with Phaser. I hope to come back to it some day, as it seems fairly straightforward and useful for making simple HTML5 games.

- Mini-Mart is a simple physics-based grocery store simulator game. I worked on production and art for this game a few years ago as a group project for a class. I did not get much hands-on experience with the engine, but I figured I should put this here to demonstrate the engine anyways.

I just found this randomly online, I think it seems pretty cool! Easy pixel art and intuitive attribute-based game mechanic programming. Very simple and potentially restrictive, but if you just want to make a cool pixel game on the web easily, this seems great, albeit somewhat buggy.
