Havok's proyect anarchy just released

Post by vblanco »

Havok people have just released their free game engine for mobiles, and i mean FREE, no fees or royalties,ive looked a bit at it, and it has the best documentation ive seen in a game engine, what do you think? http://www.projectanarchy.com/
How can ogre compete with this kind of stuff and also with other engines like Torque3d, wich now is opensource?

It's free for mobile.
But you have to pay for pc, linux and mac.

Ogre is open source (Anarchy is closed unless you pay them) and is free for all supported platforms.

Anarchy does look interesting, I downloaded it yesterday.
Insanely large sdk though, it takes up 9.2GB!

Anarchy comes with the Havok AI library. That wasn't included in the previous free Havok libs for pc, you had to buy it. I wonder if it could be extracted and used separately (physically or legally)? How does Havok AI stand up to Recast (they both do nav mesh generation and path finding).
