Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Royalty free
You can use the engine for any commercial products and keep all the profits since NeoAxis does not ask for any royalties.
Pro Completely free
Pro Simple interface
You can learn how to use Neoaxis in a few days.
Pro Excellent visual tools, map editor and resource editor
You can easily create maps/scenes and add custom objects with physics and animations in a few minutes.
Pro Lot of maps and game-modes already built-in
Has about 30 built-in maps with different game modes which can be opened by the map editor and their source code can be edited.
Pro Good IDE support
Supports Visual Studio, SharpDevelop or MonoDevelop.
Pro Really small project/game download sizes
Since GooCreate is native to the Web and uses WebGL directly, finished projects usually have a much smaller (sometimes orders of magnitude) download sizes compared to tools like Unity.
Pro Visual State Machine Editor
The visual state machine editor in GooCreate enables the addition of advanced interactivity without having to directly code it in JavaScript. Artists can add movement to objects, react to clicks and other events or even trigger changes in other state machines via events.
Pro Scripting via the JavaScript programming language
Pro Integrated physics engine (Cannon.js)
GooCreate is tightly integrated with the Cannon.js physics engine making it super simple to add advanced physics simulations to any project. Cannon.js is available at http://www.cannonjs.org/.
Pro Web based scene editor, no installation or plugin needed
Pro Particle systems
Pro Open game engine and physics engine
The Goo.js engine is fully open source and available at https://github.com/GooTechnologies/goojs
Pro FBX model importer supporting embedded textures and skin based animation
Pro Real-time WYSIWYG Hierarchical scene graph editor
Pro Advanced Code/Text Editor with auto completion for Engine APIs
Pro Custom publishing template CSS and JavaScript
Usually when publishing you are forced to use a template provided by the service (with a logo, social buttons, etc) or you have to download the project to customize it. In GooCreate you can pick from a few different configurable templates and then, if that is not enough, you can add custom CSS and JavaScript that gets added to the page header (i.e. JS and CSS will be run/applied before the scene even starts to load) letting you style the loading screen and any other aspects of the page without having to download anything and still being able to make use of the hosting service GooCreate provides.
Pro Good material editor
Material editor supports diffuse color, normal maps, specularity, emissiveness, opacity, reflectivity and refractivity.
Pro Timeline editor to animate entities
Pro Projects can be distributed via a web link or packaged for Android and iOS
Pro Good variety of post effects
Post effects including bloom, motion blur, anti aliasing, levels, contrast, vignette and edge detection.
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 Going out of business
Goo create is facing bankruptcy.
