Engine XNA
Engine XNA is a game development environment from Microsoft that enables developers to build games for Windows Phone, Xbox 360, and Microsoft Windows.
I would use this engine in the development of 2D and 3D games, as well as any game genre. It has a powerful visual editing system and a great library of powerful tools and components for game creation. Famous plugins include the XNA Framework, XNA Build, XNA Content pipeline and XNA Game Studio. The risks and cons of using this engine to make indie games is that it is not as popular as other game engines and not widely supported, so it may be difficult to find resources and help if needed. Additionally, Microsoft no longer provides support for the engine, which can make it difficult to troubleshoot any issues that arise. Engine XNA has had great successes in the indie game development world with games such as Bastion and Dust: An Elysian Tail. It has many benefits in the indie game development community, such as being a free tool and having the ability to create games for multiple devices. Engine XNA is well-suited for those who are already familiar with Microsoft technologies and the C# programming language. Great plugins to use with it include the XNA Framework, XNA Build, XNA Content pipeline, and XNA Game Studio.
