#2: Because you're still around. tongue

Because I'm familiar with it (-> it's easy to do the stuff I want) and I'm too lazy to learn another scripting language.

Also, Acknex is not that bad, just outdated as fuck and unattractive.
( still didn't loose hope for a big, unexpected change ;( )

#3: Knowing the API better than my own wallet.

Easy to remember, powerful in use.
400 LoC and you get a wonderful isometric sprite renderer with animations and packing:

#7 useless A3 Tools might stay useless after all, but become more fancy with a real WMP exporter which needs to be written in Lite-C for Acknex.

#8 because it is as outdated as I am grin okay, a more serious one: I've ever planned to develop only for Windows (sadly not sponsored by Bill Gates), and to make an in-game editor (i.e. I don't need a shiny editor like in Unity).

#9 imo the easiest 3D game engine to start with. lite-c supports experimental way of programming used by hobbyists like me, code debugging is not a big pain (despite a lot of missing features in SED), that enables me to develop a quite complex RTS game system. object oriented programming would require a more professionally structured programming (I am trying to achieve it).

#10 because it is possible to win a pro license. it gave my project a significant performance boost, that now meets my requirements (and finally prevented me from switching to Esenthel engine last autumn, which was a good decision, as I cannot customize there the movement and collision system without engine source access, what is easy with lite-c).

#11 collision is not bounded to PhysX only

#12 low system requirements both for development and playing.

#13 I know it well enough, and have made my tools I need.

#15 my crappy video driver can't work with Rayne3D

#16 UE4 needs some time to learn (but probably will use it for creating nice little games for pc and android)
