Title: Are there any good or "professional" SFML games?
Post by: DasOhmoff on June 26, 2014, 04:33:06 pm
Hello :D,

I just wanted to know if there are good or "professional" SFML games.
Because i searched with Google but online found some hobby games from diffrent hobby programmers.

I want to create a game and then sell it for a bit pocket money.
But is this posible with SFML or is there a better alternate for SFML?

I dont want to leave SFML because it has graphics, audio, network... and it's easy to use :D , so should I give a try?

PS: Sry for my englisch xD

I don't have names right now but there are some SFML games that are on Steam, yes.
Often the devs of these games don't post often around here, so it's impossible to keep track of all of them.

But if you go on the project section you'll find some (indie) games that are sold. I don't know about any AAA game that uses SFML, as they usually use "big" engines like Unity/Unreal/...

Unless you're building a triple-A 3D game for a console, choosing SFML or SDL (or any other established, high level library) won't have much impact on the quality of the game you want to make.

These guys - http://betdigital.net/ - also use SFML for their games according to user slotdev ( http://en.sfml-dev.org/forums/index.php?topic=15027.msg107480#msg107480 ).
