8 years ago Hello Omar, thank you for your input. I looked through the list, here is my take.
Unreal Engine: https://www.unrealengine.com/what-is-unreal-engine-4
- Even though it is free, it is not open source and belongs to a company, who could decide at any moment to close it and make it unusable for ARVOS. I think ARVOS as an open source project needs to use an open source engine with a compatible license.
Ogre3D: http://www.ogre3d.org/
- Open source with a compatible license. I am currently trying to get it to work on android. The bad thing I currently experience, is that the DNS for the ogre3d.org domain only resolves half the time I try. Very strange, I do not know what is going on.
Unigine: http://unigine.com/
- Not open source, belongs to company.
Torque 3D: http://www.garagegames.com/products/torque-3d
- Seems to be very oriented toward Direct 3d and Windows
Gameplay: http://www.gameplay3d.io/
- Open source, Apache license. Looks pretty good, if the ogre3d.org website keeps failing, maybe I should look into gameplay instead
Irrlicht: http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/
- Open source, no mention of mobile devices though
LibGDX: http://libgdx.badlogicgames.com/
- Open source, the licene is ok. The one problem I see is how to run the Java on iOS. The libgdx documentation mentions RoboVM. But RoboVM is not open source.
