Game Development Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for professional and independent game developers. It's 100% free, no registration required.

So, I am pretty new to the world of game development, so I am a bit fuzzy on what I require. Could someone suggest a game engine that I could use? I need it to be light weight (my game won't require that much power) and have networking functionality for multiplay or even an MMO aspect. The game I am making is like a game show, so it is your basic choose and answer hit the buzzer kind of game. Any suggestions? I would also like it to be open source or at the least free. I would like to support open source projects.

"light weight" vs "have networking functionality for multiplay or even an MMO aspect"? – Den Aug 18 '12 at 12:38
Is there any particular reason you think you need a game engine for this at all? This game could be built as a simple ol' fashioned Web site, assuming you don't have some over the top 3D animated characters or such planned. – Sean Middleditch Aug 18 '12 at 23:10

There was a question a long while ago on stackoverflow pretty much asking the exact same thing. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1576104/what-is-a-good-game-engine-with-solid-network-support

DevMaster has a huge database of game engines. You would do well to visit there.
