Review: (Steam Review Used Due to the Lack of Personal Knowledge) Leadwerks is what it says on the box, it’s a software development kit like Source SDK or UDK. You create a game completely from scratch (without the need of modellers and coders, the code and models are supplied to you already but that doesn’t mean you can’t code or create your own models.)

This “Software Development Kit” is very simple to use (It is VERY similar to Source SDK so it’s quite easy to use if you know your way around Source SDK) and only takes a few hours to get the hang of the basics, creating blocks & texturing them is a breeze, adding spawn points, light environments, lights, models placement etc. I’d certainly recommend picking this up if you’re a beginner at creating games or wanting to learn how to create your own game without all the hardships of C++ or modelling.
