I'm looking for a free engine to do a 2d or 3d arcade style shooter. I'm gunning for graphics about par with Ikarugas or R-type final if I'm lucky (though less detailed as I'm not the best in 3d).

I'm looking for an egine that has a slightly simplified scripting or coding system though. I have experience, but not alot and definetly not enough time to code everything in c++. Maybe something python based?

Anyone have any suggestions? If all else fails I'm gonna mod JK but I'd prefer to be able to distribute this thing legally heh.

wtbump!?

Quake? Sorry.

Here's a couple lists you can look through:
