This month the Flutter team are running Flutter Puzzle Hack. In this post we’ll take you through two of our favourite game engines currently available on Ubuntu Desktop Godot and Unity. Whilst game development tools on Ubuntu are still maturing in a lot of ways, that doesn’t mean it’s impossible- or even that difficult- to create great games on Linux. For veteran developers, it’s an opportunity to experiment or try out new ideas that might not be possible on their regular projects. It’s a great way to get started with game development if you’ve never tried it before. Participants run 48-hour game development hackathons, and every project is based on the same theme, announced during the Global Game Jam video keynote.


Global Game Jam is the world’s largest game creation event taking place all around the globe. A new year, a new instalment of our gaming on Ubuntu blog series! This month we’re covering Linux game development tools on Ubuntu Desktop, something that may be particularly useful for anyone taking part in the upcoming Global Game Jam.
