HeroEngine vs S2 engine HD

Backend completely handled by the team at Hero.

No need for Perforce, Github or any other versioning software. It is built in. Check, Compare, Merge, revert, etc.

Developers of the engine and game developers are active on the Forums and Skype for private messaging.

Able to create many types of games and scales all the way from a single area up to a full-blown MMO.

Designed for the needs of a MMO. HSL is also relatively easy to learn as scripting languages go. It was geared towards beginners, not time hardened programmers, and as such, its easier for a novice to pick it up sometimes, than a c++ programmer. That, and it was intended to be "readable" more like English.

Skype channel and forums questions answered by developers of HE and users very quickly.

Though the export pipeline may be different and currently requires 3ds Max or Maya, the format is highly optimized to reduce high quality models down to KB's.

It is possible to edit weather conditions (rain, thunders,wind, clouds, night and day cycle) by simply moving some sliders.

Important functions can easily be seen and accessed, making the engine quite user friendly, even for beginners or those who are new to the engine.

S2ENGINE HD rendering power is comparable to more famous engines like Cryengine and UE4.

S2ENGINE HD is integrated with a complete terrain editor that lets you sculpt, paint, add vegetation, and add splines like roads, rivers, fences, etc.

Essential functions are very easy to use and understand.
