Fyrox
Fyrox is a Rust game engine with an editor. 3D is the main use. The license is MIT.

Overview
The editor places nodes, lights, and colliders. Scripts are Rust. That split is the point versus a code-only ECS engine.
Expect to read the book and the issues. The community can answer questions and will not match a large engine's asset store.

Where it fits
- MIT Rust with a scene editor.
- 3D tools without a proprietary license.

Where it does not
- Rust is required.
- Fewer tutorials and assets than Godot or Unity.
- Platform reach is desktop-first.

How does it compare?
Rust without the editor, with a larger community.
An editor in GDScript or C# if Rust is not the goal.
Questions
How is Fyrox different from Bevy?
Both are MIT Rust. Fyrox ships an editor. Bevy is code-first and ECS.
Is it free for commercial games?
Yes. The license is MIT.
Does it do 2D?
Yes. 3D is still the main path.
