It is interesting to note that Delphi offers a great number of options that allow users to build games from scratch. Whether you want to create a 2D game, a 3D, or a mixture of both, Delphi users can take advantage of third-party game engines. One of the top choices today is the Castle Game Engine. In this video from DelphiCon 2023 earlier this year, Michalis Kamburelis is back to help us further understand Castle Game Engine as well as some of the new features that users can expect from its upcoming 7.0-alpha 3 version.
