    I’m pretty sure there are open source alternatives to this?

    Anybody care to shine some light on which projects would be comparable, and how they stack up against unity?

      Godot, it’s the most mature of the bunch. It’s a little different than Unity, but it’s definitely very user friendly, really powerful and has an active community.

        Godot feels nicer to work in than Unity. The object model is better designed and more intuitive. I hope this gives Godot a big boost.

      Godot is probably the best choice for open source game engines. Its got funding and full time developers working on it.

      Stride3D is probably the closest open source clone of Unity. It was developed by Silicon Studio as a commercial game engine but they eventually stopped and open sourced it. Its got a ton of modern features including vulkan and direct x 12 support. It has an active community too, but no full time staff making new features.
