BYOND vs CopperCube

BYOND is in active development and updates are released constantly.

The software itself is very easy to learn and use for beginners.

BYOND's community is relatively large and extremely helpful. Any question a beginner or an experienced user may have is quickly answered.

Fairly large player base and multiple games to play.

Includes easy to use 3D editor for quickly clicking together 3D games.

Can create 3D games as real WebGL apps, running inside websites. Doesn't use a cross compiler, so WebGL apps are small and download quickly.

CopperCube includes a terrain editor. Terrain can be drawn with height painting tools directly in the editor, textures can be painted quickly with automatic texture blending into the terrain. There are also tools for placing grass and bushes, and for distributing meshes automatically over the terrain.

CopperCube is available on Steam It was Greenlit.

It was also written by the founder of irrlicht, although it is not open source.

And, you can use the visual programming to speed up the process, even if later you have to write code in order to improve the final product.

Supports both DK2 and DK1.
