It seems Atomic Game Engine is not fully working yet (Linux IDE, Win32 Export, etc), don't know if it's under the pressure of recent engine wars or going to be abandoned(I hope not).

How many of the game engines are actually out there? This is yet another one that I've learned of this year.

Though, it'd be a shame if it's gonna end up being abandoned. That C# scripting sounds interesting. That being said though, It sort of feels just like Godot Engine.

It's in development, for the moment you can only use Javascript or Typescript :

By the way, i don't understand why they use the word scripting. C# doesn't seem to me a scripting language (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scripting_language)

I think it was Leonardo da Vinci who once said something along the lines of "If you build the robots, they will make games." or something to that effect.

It is actually a branch of Urho3D. So it is not a totally new engine.

I was not aware of this, but this seems really the case (c.f https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_game_engines)
C# is one of my favorite language, and i did just a search on google with 'game engine c#', and you find various game engines which support C#, are often free, open-source and multi-platforms. For instance :
http://xenko.com/
https://waveengine.net/
http://duality.adamslair.net/

etc...
