Game Engines for MC Games?
I want to create some Mind Control games but I'm limited to some game engines due to the lack of money needed. I was thinking of doing html ones and was hoping that people could suggest some.

Well you can't really make a game in HTML. It's a markup language to show how things should be shown

The closest would probably be Twine a nice light little engine for making interactive fiction games twinery.org/ . It's pretty flexible. You start with just making bits of text and clicking between them but you can add variables and the like though Javascript and make some pretty complex stuff with it

What exactly kind of game do you want to make? FPS? Platformer? Visual novel?

If you're looking to make a visual novel or an interactive story, there's plenty of game engines out there for free. <<www.renpy.org/|Ren'Py>> is pretty good, if you don't mind learning a bit of Python, of course. For other genres, <<www.rpgmakerweb.com/|RPG Maker>> and <<www.stencyl.com/|Stencyl>> are your best bets.

You could give construct2 a try. 2d based, freeish, and exports to html5 and can be easily embedded in an iframe. It uses a lot of simple code, so you basically just plop the assets in and tie it together loosely. Then you get a finished product. It can also export to mobile, id you so desire

of course, there's akso Unity, buuuut that requires a little more learning and dedication. But it's the most powerful basic game engine i know of.
