I bought this product a year or so ago and comparing it to leadwerks game engine it has over 100% more features and very regular updates, for the beta price of £40 and you get 1 years worth of updates it is a steal, the community is small at the present time but is growing very fast with people willing to help with any one even beginners.

This is a royalty free engine and we will be looking at using this engine for all of our future development projects.

The engine is OSVR Partner.

The current state of the engine is developing in many ways and has come very far in the past year alone.

Big Points in progress and planned for the near future:

* Gen 2 rendering with PBR, roughness and metal (as with the big engines).
* GUI and HUD editor (coming soon).
* Visual Mechanics editor (for none coders).
* Plugin system (so you can make your own plugins to aid development and in game content)
* Built on a module system so if a bug hits one part of the engine the whole thing doesnt come down.
* Regular Updates
* Very responsive dev's on there forum.
* A clear and transparent development team that keeps you updated on progress.

* A definite contender to Unity 3D even though it is in BETA at the moment it has more features then the budget/indie/loyalty free engines that I have tried out there.

In my opinion you should get it now for only £40 and have a active hand in suggesting features that you want in a games engine and learn how it can help you in getting the results that you can not in other engines.

I have worked with Unity and Leadwerks engines, I find leadwerks to be the better for user friendliness and coding in LUA and C++ are the industry standards and you can use these in the engine.

Leadwerks is in constant development and the developer is in close contact with the users of the engine making sure you get what you want included in the engine in the long run.

For the small layout you get a royalty free engine, what more can I say.

I have to add that the features of leadwerks have to be desired and with no clear road map for development it is unclear what will and will not be in the final product.

Although updates are coming out for the engine it is slow, with all the sales of the engine you would think that more people would be hired to speed up the development since it has been on the go for such a long time.

This engine has potential but for the full price it just is not worth it and is sold as a complete package an "easy engine" but with broken scripts supplied with the engine like the FPS char and AI scripts I would look at skyline game engine.
