May i ask a question there @RPaladin
Which Engine do you think is more reliable?
UPBGE?
Armory Eengine?
RanGE Engine?
GODOT?
What’s your say? what’s better ? what works best for making games?
What would you prefer using?
Fred/K.S
Godot 3 
Godot 4
- Godot 3.x is more stable than the other three engines I think, purely based on their developer team. Godot 4.x on the other hand is still relatively experimental and more prone to unstability.
UPBGE 0.2 UPBGE 0.3
- For that very reason of stability via older releases, I’d place UPBGE 0.3.x below UPBGE 0.2.x and Range Engine.
UPBGE 0.2 Range Engine
- I’ve heard Range community members (not just the Range developers) share that they found performance better in Range than in UPBGE 0.2.x. I myself haven’t used Range enough to form an opinion though, so I’ll defer to the community on this one.
Armory UPBGE
- I made a list on that a while back. https://rpaladin.github.io/armory3d-vs-upbge
Armory Godot Range UPBGE
- Since more people use Godot, I would think it’s a better engine perhaps than the other mentioned engines.
- Armory and UPBGE 0.3 is great if you want some modern features of Blender, but they’re not as fast as with both of their legacy counterparts, purely because of increased OS requirements to achieve higher graphics.
- Range and UPBGE is great if you want more performance and you’re comfortable with older Blender.
It would depend on what context someone would be making games for:
- Armory3D for quick testing and more stable export options.
- Godot’s HTML5 exporter is pretty bad in my opinion.
- Godot’s GLES2 is okay, but GLES3 is very slow.
- Godot’s HTML5 exporter is pretty bad in my opinion.
- Godot for stability, portability (both engine + exports).
- UPBGE for quick testing and seamless artistic perfection.

Does Armory work with pre-baked GI or is it realtime?
And in case it is pre-baked, what is the workflow?
Answering myself:
But then, clicking on that red button:
https://github.com/armory3d/armory/wiki/global_illumination
Armory features a fully dynamic global illumination technique based on a combination of voxel cone-tracing and screen-space ray-tracing. First, the scene is voxelized and processed into a 3D texture. This data is then used to gather ambient occlusion of the scene. Afterwards, screen-space ray-tracing is performed for detail.
