ArcadeMaker is a 2D game engine with its own custom scripting language (Exp) and integrated IDE, inspired by GameMaker 8. It is written in C# and uses MonoGame for cross-platform rendering. The project is notable for implementing a complete language and IDE from scratch, but it remains unfinished with many planned features and missing documentation.

Target audience: game developers, hobbyists, and beginners interested in a GameMaker-like workflow
