## What it is
KBEngine is an open-source MMOG server engine written in C++ with a Python scripting layer for game logic, including hot-fixing support. It provides distributed multi-process load balancing and client plugins/SDKs for Unity3D, UE4, OGRE, Cocos2d, HTML5, and Godot.

## Use cases
- build an MMOG or MMORPG game server
- create a multiplayer game backend with Python scripting
- handle large numbers of concurrent players with load balancing
- integrate a game server with a Unity3D or Unreal Engine client
- hot-update game logic without server restarts
- avoid reimplementing common MMO server infrastructure

## When to choose
- you are building a large-scale multiplayer online game and want a ready-made server engine
- you want Python scripting with hot-fixing for game logic
- you need distributed, dynamically load-balanced server architecture
- your client is Unity3D, UE4, OGRE, Cocos2d, HTML5, or Godot

## When to avoid
- you need a full client-side game engine rather than a server engine
- you need a small-scale or simple real-time multiplayer backend where lighter solutions suffice
- you require active community development and frequent releases (last release was late 2022)
- you need guaranteed licensing clarity (license is non-standard)
