i wish more devs included the Engine & tools metadata in their projects on itch.io so that, with 1 click,  we could find a larger sample of games/apps produced with a given "language" or framework. 

i doubt that i'll ever deviate from my dialect of choice (AppGameKit) but i do enjoy keeping an eye on what the AGK community is up to by clicking that link. i follow some blitz users for a slice of those and also appreciate perusing the pico-8 games offered on occasion.

none are "better" than others, in my opinion. ie, FUN is FUN, across the board, no matter the framework. but, there seems to be a different "flavor" of game produced by various coding communities, in general.

Hello!

"i wish more devs included the Engine & tools metadata in their projects on itch.io so that, with 1 click,  we could find a larger sample of games/apps produced with a given "language" or framework."  <-- I agree with you.

"i doubt that i'll ever deviate from my dialect of choice (AppGameKit)" <-- AppGameKit is a good game language. Sure!

"there seems to be a different "flavor" of game produced by various coding communities, in general." <-- Thanks for your analysis.
