Leadwerks Game Engine: Indie Edition is a robust game engine that allows the creation of various types of 3D games.

The easy-to-use controls, Lua script integration and abundance of learning materials make it a powerful tool that can serve even the less tech savvy.

The package comes with advanced level design tools, developed specifically for users who aren't expert artists, making it easy to sketch out designs and bring ideas to life.

Leadwerks has advanced graphics support, with hardware tessellation, geometry shaders and an OpenGl 4.0 renderer that provides graphics on par with DirectX 11.

In mid-2013, Leadwerks Software ran a Kickstarter campaign that raised more than twice its initial goal, ensuring that the game creation tool will also find a home on Linux machines.

The tool is available exclusively through Steam, with a price tag of $99 / €93. It includes a royalty-free license and tons of documentation and video tutorials detailing its use.
