#12It's neat, but not better than real open source solutions. Pay is what you want unless your at work and then it's price is under NDA isn't friendly. Godot is still probably the best FOSS engine right now. Arguably it's strongly in 3rd place behind Unity/Unreal.

Where do you see an NDA?

Seems like there was a previous version of the engine that was written in Haxe [0] > alpha - deprecated 2015~2016. unrelated to the new engine! view the new engine here - https://luxeengine.com/ Also, that old version used to be open source, but I think this new one isn't anymore.

Customized pricing is very scary. It's whatever we feel like charging you under NDA. Why would I pitch this to my boss over using Godot under an MIT license?

It's "source available", not open source. Unreal is "source available" as well.

The top price tier says

This is really weird, honestly. If you hire a 17th seat your pricing goes from $50/seat/mo to... what? How do I plan around this jump?
I would also like to know what happens if my subscription lapses. Can I continue to use a version I previously downloaded? What if luxe goes out of business or, heaven forbid, suddenly increases their pricing to unsustainable levels? With Unreal I can keep using an old version.

I read that as cheaper in bulk, but I see what you mean.

Sounds like they might be switching to a source-available model rather than an open-source model.
