Armory3D vs Visionaire Studio

Armory3D is a free, open-source 3D game engine that works as a Blender add-on and external SDK. It targets games for Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, Android and the web, with visual scripting and Haxe available for game logic. Its scriptable renderer supports deferred and forward paths, and developers can create custom render paths. The engine includes a UI library and editor, physics based on Bullet for rigid and soft body simulation, and an option to use Oimo. Navigation meshes support real-time pathing for objects marked as actors. Effects and animation include emitter and hair particles with GPU instancing, GPU skinning, bones, keyframes, shape keys and tilesheets. Listed lighting features include voxel-based ambient occlusion, lightmapping, area lights, reflection probes and IES textures. The setup guide asks users to install Blender 4.5.x LTS and says Blender 3.3 LTS and earlier are unsupported. The repository identifies the license as zlib/libpng and permits commercial use subject to its stated restrictions. The privacy policy says Armory software does not collect, market or sell user data.

Visionaire Studio is a visual engine for creating point-and-click adventure games, with an editor intended to let creators start without programming. The editor supports scenes, dialogue, puzzles, inventory, characters, animations, hotspots, and interaction logic. Projects can be extended with Lua scripting, custom systems, and plugins. Presentation features include parallax scrolling, particle effects, 2D and 3D character support, video integration, and shader effects; audio includes 3D positional sound and adaptive music. Built-in tools manage multilingual text and audio. The listed publishing targets are Windows, macOS, Linux, HTML5, iOS, Android, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PlayStation, subject to license and exporter requirements. The freeware version is limited to 25 scenes per project. The PRO License costs 75.00 EUR once and provides full engine access, but commercial publishing requires a distribution license. Distribution licenses cover one commercial title within the platforms included in that license. The maker is based in Siegen, Germany.
