User Reviews
This is the best open source engine I've ever worked with. Clean and understandable code, all pure .Net, an incredibly fully featured editor, and an awesome component-oriented approach to building games.

Easy to learn while still in-depth enough to develop everything you want

Duality has just the right balance of code / design, and I think it's one of the engines standout features.

Install instructions
To run the Duality editor and default launcher implementation, the .Net Framework 4.5 is required. The first install will require an internet connection to download the pre-built default packages.
In order to develop custom plugins and game logic, Visual Studio 2013 (Update 3 or newer) is recommended. Custom setups with other IDEs and build chains are possible for more experienced users.

I'm excited to try this engine!
I really like this engine! I'm already planning to move one of my latest games to Duality! I find it very similar to Unity, only designed for 2D.
