RTS Creator
Update March 2021: So I decided I may as well try make something because I paid money for it. I gave Dune 2 another crack and put an additional 95 hours into this thing. So what have I learned. Its buggy as hell and will crash a lot. If there is one thing missing, such as an image it will crash. There are some totally broken features, for example the traditional RTS harvester functions are totally broken, you can not select “Drop off” with your harvester function or the game will crash. There are multiple things missing such as unit sounds, all 3d model files are flipped. Adding any sort of feature is a long and frustrating task. After the almost 100 extra hours I have put into this engine my recommendation is, do not buy this, use something else like the spring engine.

Please note I do no longer think about the engine this way, I currently think this is a piece of shit.
You can see why below.
I have used this engine for 60 (including time spended with demo) hours now, and after this time I can say, that it had potential and still has. I bought this engine for 10 euros which is about 12 dollars I think it is way worth it. Let me begin with some pros and cons,
Pros:
-Easy to use
-Scripting support
-some nice free to use models
-Particle creator
-Lots of customization
