Ph.D. Student in Computer Science Research Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 9/19/2016 "Amazing low level Java graphic library ( for better or for worse)" 3/5 What do you like best about Libgdx? LibGDX is a low-level Java library with support for Graphic, Input and Sound. I say low-level because is quite minimal compared to more advanced game libraries for Java and other complete Game Engine. However, if you are interested in writing your own "engine", in a language that is not too complex like Java and you want to keep the ability to export your game in tons of platforms ( Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Android, iOS, BlackBerry and web browsers with WebGL), this is the way to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Libgdx? I do not really enjoy programming in Java. Moreover, I think it is too low level for my needs. I usually do a lot of Game Jams and in those situations I prefer a game engine for fast prototypes (such as Unity). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Libgdx: You have to be sure that you need a Java library for tour game. Most of the times, a game engine such as Unity is more suitable for 90% of the "Indie Dev Needs". So, be sure that the time spent implementing the basics systems in LibGDX is motivated.

Technical Designer - God of War Entertainment Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 9/22/2016 "Powerful engine for prototypes and finished products" 3/5 What do you like best about Libgdx? Cross platform provides a convenient and consistent way to prototype concepts quickly for different platforms. Figure out what is the best tool for the job after the prototype, or proceed to build it into a finished product. Very well documented and easy to find the information you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Libgdx? Java is a bit heavy to work with, and a good experience requires a lot of tools and moving parts to be patched together. Not the easiest thing to get up and running, especially when working with android binaries. Making sure everyone is using the same versions to avoid issues is a chore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Libgdx: If you have experience with java and want a way to create games from scratch for other platforms, this is a great way to get started. However, there is a lot of things you have to roll from scratch that other engines handle for you. Make sure you weigh the investment on time spent learning this vs other products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Libgdx solving and how is that benefiting you? Quick prototyping solution for testing out ideas. The ability to work with different platforms while working with a single engine is very beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It gives dev another option when looking for software. it might not be the best no you have another choice. I also like the build in animation support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Libgdx? 3D games don't look the best and there are not many options for lighting and effects Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Libgdx: the program has some catching up to do but overall is fine for what it is. but i wouldn't blame anyone for picking unity or gamemaker over it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Libgdx solving and how is that benefiting you? solving the problem of not giving 10 -30 % to of our budget to unity or unreal Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
