It’s a great way to get started with game development if you’ve never tried it before.

For veteran developers, it’s an opportunity to experiment or try out new ideas that might not be possible on their regular projects. 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. In this post we’ll take you through two of our favourite game engines currently available on Ubuntu Desktop Godot and Unity. This month the Flutter team are running Flutter Puzzle Hack. This is a competition that asks developers to re-imagine the classic slide puzzle with prizes for the most creative submissions. We’re also keeping an eye on Flame, a flutter-based game engine that delivers modular, game-specific components to users. Flame is definitely worth checking out if you’re a Flutter enthusiast. Godot and Unity are powerful engines that allow users to develop highly polished multi-platform titles, but they’re also user friendly enough to get something up and running quickly. This makes them great foundational tools for Linux game development. Every time I try to download unity from unity hub it comes up with an error message that says 'error while executing the installer'. If you already develop games on (or for) Linux or decide to experiment with Ubuntu at an upcoming game jam, we’d love to hear about your experiences. I did not download any other components and just the editor. This has become more bothersome now that unity hub is the only way to download unity.
