ORX is an open source, portable, data-driven 2D-oriented game engine that has been created to allow creation of games and prototypes that provides a framework for game development.
The best part about this software was its ability to create interactive characters with high detail in any environment. It helped me get my project off the ground quickly without having to spend thousands of dollars. I used it mostly as a tool for prototyping character designs but had some success using it to build out environments too. If you are looking for something affordable and easy to use then I would highly recommend checking it out. This software allows us to prototype our ideas faster
