MD Engine is a visual engine to create games compatible with the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis consoles.

It's been created to enable users with minimal or no programming knowledge to make games. It uses a visual scripting system. The engine also features several tools to make it easier to convert images and fonts to be usable with the engine.

More advanced users can work directly with the engine C code and extend it with plugins.

The engine can generate ROM files that can be run on an emulator or real hardware, as well as HTML5 web page versions, Windows Desktop versions, and Steam-enabled Desktop versions.

The engine also features several quality-of-life improvements if the games are run with the Desktop exports, such as Wide-screen mode, removal of sprite limits, and CRT effect, which can be enabled by the user at will.

Here you can see the Wide Screen mode.

MD Engine UI is based on the open-source engine GB Studio, you can find a full version of the licenses included on MD Engine here.

Finally, for GB Studio users, you can find a in-depth comparision of both engines here.
