Cons
Con The developers do not actively communicate with the community
Not only have the developers driven the community away, they have actively closed the forum.
News articles have not had any changes since 2016, and the last news article still has links to the now removed forum.
Con Windows-only
NeoAxis Engine is Windows-only.
Con No community
As of 2016, the creator has completely destroyed his own community in order to silence any criticism from developers.
Con Lack of tutorials
Unfortunately, the wiki doesn't contain many programming tutorials, and the source code itself isn't very self-documented. Creating new gamemodes or AI will require lot of research for beginners.
Con Lack of documentation
Con Not many developers use it
Armory3d seems to be quite exotic and it should be hard to find developers to help in projects.
Con Still in development
Con Slow development
Focus from the developer has shifted to another project, so development of this has slowed considerably.
Con Good looking but a terrible choice for any serious development
Terrible lack of support and lack of a serious delivery strategy. Multiple breaking changes to the master branches (usually the only branch actually) from the core projects as well as the myriad of dependencies it uses make it a nightmare to have something stable to create with. Might be good for prototyping if you stick to the releases, but stay away if you are planning to create something serious.
