Pros
Pro 3D support
Since pyglet is so tightly woven with OpenGL it allows the support of drawing in 3D.
Pro Cross-platform
Works with Windows, Linux, and OS X.
Pro Written in pure Python
A small advantage, but being a core Python developer, it may be the best to stick to the roots and develop with pyglet as it is able to compile using other Python interpreters.
Pro Versatile flow diagram script model
WiMi5 integrates a powerful visual scripting solution based on Blackboxes that allows you to create the logic flow of the game. You don't have to code (if you don't want) but you can also do it. WiMi5's actions and behaviors resemble flowcharts where each box represents a function or value, with connections between them representing program flow. This provides a better at-a-glance indication of game logic than a simple list of events, and makes complex behaviors easier to accomplish.
Pro Integrated servers
WiMi5 provides integrated back-end services, with tools available to save game session data, manage rankings, etc.
Pro Free development
The WiMi5 platform is free to use, supported by post-publication royalties.
Pro Built in monetisation tools
WiMi5 provides features to manage in-app purchases and micropayments. Virtual Goods management is integrated into the Logic Editor.
Pro Publication partnerships
WiMi5 maintains partnerships allowing simultaneous publication to a number of Web and mobile stores, all managed through the WiMi5 platform.
Games can also be downloaded and publish it wherever you want: in your own server or with your own partners. Just check the Download feature in the settings of your game.
