AGK2 isn't prefect and I can tell you it's a waste of time to compare it with Unity or UE4. For one they are two different animals.

One of the biggest's question is ..... *drum roll* ... Yes!, you do need a bit of programming understanding/knowledge and if you don't then I'd suggest trying out http://www.codecademy.com/ and see if you seems to understand it then look into learning AGK Basic.

Pros:
- AGK Basic! (If you have never programmed before in your life and wish to try out programming then this is a great start)
- C++ Support (I'm a C++ fan)
- Visual Studios Community/2013 template support
- Lots of AGK Basic example projects (I was a bit shocked by this)
- Has an interesting stream app so you can see it on things like on mobile without having to upload it to the device.
- It's a library and not an engine editor like Unity (I think this is a pro because I'm not weighed down by stuff I don't need)
- Multiplayer support (Basic support but since you can use C++ you can add a different one)
- You can make apps and games (It's a library so you have total control)
- it's very cheap for a full library that is easy to pick up and go
- Cross Platform Support for games (Windows, Mac, IOS, Android, Linux)


Cons:
- I think it lacks on the documentation side (It could use more I think)
- It's a library (yes this is a con too because it's a lot harder to pick up compare to like Unity but once you do it's so worth it)
- Without looking stuff up, it can be a bit overwelming to get started. (Well what isn't?)
- No level editors (Well it's not an engine editor so this is excepted, It's not Unity)
- No Linux Editor

Here is the Documentation: http://www.appgamekit.com/documentation/home.html

If you are intrested in this then I'd say try out the demo on steam or their web site.

You may think I'm bias but it is harder to find cons with a library then an editor. Only things a library can do wrong is not have a certain command not implemented. The rest is up to you to build. It's true I've nevered like Unity or UE4 but that is because I do prefer Libraries like SFML or SDL and this is just something else that is fun to play with and see what I can make.

This game is a bundle of fun and can't wait for co-op. I hate to compare it to minecraft (voxel game) but that is the game everyone knows. It's more or less a battle minecraft with guns and the feeling you are in a mech. It's really fast-pased and looks like it has great promise. Now as I'm sure you know it's an early access so you'll see bugs here and there but they are on track for a great game. Dev gave me(and others) an early copy to help get these bugs out but i've had fun playing it while beta testing it as well.

My Rating 6/10 but this will change as more get added (Again it is in early access and they never to a full rating right away due to lack of features and content.

This game is a lot of fun. It's a very simple top down view RPG game. (it's very simple) If wish to play something that isn't hard but you want to build something then this is your game.

I was playing this before it was on steam and was even in the steam beta version. It has come a long ways.

I was in the beta for this and it was a blast!

Ok here is what I think of the engine

Pros:
- It is really easy to use once you get the hang of it
- Is a good start for newbies to mess around with
- Cheap royalty free engine (This is hard to come by now)
- Lua is a simple language to start out since it's a scripting language and the engine has a built-in IDE.
- Very easy to build basic maps without any modeling skills
- Come with a few simple scripts for doing simple tasks (Doors, Platforms, Character Controller, Etc)
- Easy to use lighting
- Supports OpenGL 4.0 (Same as Directx 11)
- Steam Controller Support
- Steam Workshop (In beta)
- Option to upgrade to C++ Version (Uses C++11 and works with VS2013)
- Demo (Please for the love of god try it before buying)

Cons:
- No built-in protection for assets when compiling
- No native network support built-in (You can use Raknet)
- No vegetation painting system in Terrain Editor (Only Ground)
- Limited support and documentation (It's growing and has good starter videos)
- Doesn't support older version of OpenGL (Give it a few more years and it won't matter anyways)
- Needs more announcements on whats going on with the development of the engine.
- No Mobile Support (I'm sure in time)

Like any engine starting out I'm sure it will have it's ups and downs. Some of you are asking, is this worth it? Well that depends on what you want to do with the engine. They give you a blank slate to work with and you start building. You can build any type of game you want but it will require some effort to do so.

Q: Can I sell the game I make?
A: That is a big Yes

Q: Is it fun to play around with even if I have never built a game before?
A: I'd say yes

Q: Can I build any game I want?
A: Sure

Q: This or Unity or Another Engine?
A: Well I'm sure some of the other engine has more features but they do come with a price and not royalty free. If you want to be cheap then this is a good engine. New features are being added every few months.

Q: Can you model inside the engine?
A: We it's not a modeling tool but you can place primitive shapes and texture them. (like a wall or floor)

Q: Do I have to code?
A: Well yes, if you want to do anything besides walk around then you'll need to know Lua or C++ if you have the upgrade version.

Q: What type of models can I import?
A: FBX file type

Q: Does the engine come with some Assets?
A: A few but you'll need to provide most of the stuff for your game.

Q: Can I run this if my video card doesn't support OpenGL 4.0?
A: No, Check your support OpenGL version with this http://www.ozone3d.net/gpu_caps_viewer/

Q: Does the free version of Visual Studio Express 2013 work with Leadwerks Standard?
A: Yes it does Visual Studio Site[www.visualstudio.com]

Q: Well I'm using linux so what compiler can I use?
A: Codeblocks http://www.codeblocks.org/

Q: What are accepted file types for the workshop?
A: (As of May 20, 2014)
For any type of asset:
"mat","pfb","phy","tex","mdl","lua","shader","wav","ttf","map","meta"

For add-ons:
"luo","lib","a","so","h","c","cpp","dll","pdb","ini","html","htm"

Now that the Multiplayer Mod has been release this game has kicked it up a notch.

If you want to make your own server. feel free to look at my guide on how to get one started: http://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=203955191

It's a great game to play with friends

I wouldn't listen to the stories saying this is the worst one. It's a great final fantasy game that has it's own playing style.

One of the best final fantasy games

This game is so much fun! The worlds and monsters are randomaly generated. You can hope on a ship to go to other planets.
