2 Great Engines to use in-line with 3D Rad
So as game developers we want to explore and learn new things and use different Engines to see what games we can make with what.
So over the past couple months I've done a bit of searching about looking for some great Engines other than 3D Rad (I don't dislike 3D Rad, it's my favourite Engine so far). I have found two other Engines that are similar to 3D Rad. Here are the two as well as a little description as to why I think they're pretty darn good.
Number 1:
CopperCube
This Engine is very similar to 3D Rad however in some ways, it's better. It allows you to export to Mac, Linux, Windows, Android and Web. It is also a no code Engine meaning you can make games without learning JavaScript (It's main language). The graphics of this Engine, especially as it's free and no code, are outstandingly good. If you want an Engine that can produce Skyrim-like graphics, this is the one for you!
Pros:
- No code.
- Export to multiple platforms
- Great graphics
- Import your own models (like 3D Rad, it has Sketchup support)
- Lot's of support and a booming community so easy to get into and learning
Cons:
- Paid for (if you want Android and iOS mainly)
- Few bugs (Meshes don't show or collision get's stuck)

Number 2:
Scirra Construct 2:
This Engine is currently 2D only and can produce some pretty good lookign games too. It's no code and free for HTML games. It has got so much to offer and once harnessed, can be one mighty Engine. Like getting a new bike, at first you fall. But then, boom, your a speedster!
Pros:
- Export to Android, iOS, HTMl and I think WIndows (I haven't used this for too long i'm still new lol)
- Great and easy to use Interface, everything has an explination.
- Fantastic for 2D game developers, especially starting out as it's no code and code. (similar to javascript but not javascript...)
- Lot's of pre-made assets (you don't need to be an Art major to use this Engine)
Cons:
- Paid for (quite expensive, but one time fee)
- 2D only, if your a 3D game developer this isn't for you
- Can be tedious (You work in what's called "layers" and if you enter a sprite on a layer you can't really move it to another layer so you have to re-enter it)

All done! If you have an Engine you think is worth mentioning leave it below. Hope you enjoy the list
I use coppercube for good graphic Android games, and Construct 2 for Android games too lol. They're great!
3D Rad is obviously my Windows Engine
