I have a lot of time on my hands now, so I thought it would be fun to make a simple top down game for System 7-9. There are a handful of game engines I found, such as Cold Stone, SCUMM, Unity, GameMaker, and various other tools to edit levels. But I was hoping to avoid having to try them all, and just ask for other people's experiences about what they would recommend.
The game I want to make would be top down, 2D, but being able to go in all 4 directions, instead of just left or right. I want to start out with just a simple action shooter game. This game won't be open world, in order to save me from having to make lots of maps and areas. It'll be linear, with some puzzle elements to figure out how to unlock doors, use certain items in special places, etc.
I'm familiar with Unreal Engine 4, but have never tried to make a game for Macintosh. Cold Stone looks good, but on the Garden, I read that it has problems, or isn't finished. I would hate to spend a hundred hours or more on something only for it to not work.
Any input would be appreciated!
