GIF Brewery was one of the reasons I built this, I could never quite get the output I wanted and the process was never very intuitive to me. Not to mention its future being unclear

Like, Apple's differences in names and descriptions kinda strike me as how Apple is positioning them and what they're focusing on? But yeah, if Apple's game development focus is this confusing, outside of AR dev it honestly kinda looks to me like using an established 3P engine is the play

RealityKit description: RealityKit provides high-performance 3D simulation and rendering capabilities you can use to create visionOS apps or to create augmented reality (AR) apps for iOS, macOS, and tvOS. RealityKit is an AR-first 3D framework that leverages ARKit to seamlessly integrate virtual objects into the real world SceneKit description: Create 3D games and add 3D content to apps using high-level scene descriptions, and easily add animations, physics simulation, particle effects, and realistic physically based rendering.

I dunno, SpriteKit has also not been touched in years, sometimes that means Apple just isn't focusing on it right now. They're often clear when they want to be (eg UIKit -> SwifUI recs) I'd argue building a 3D game in either is quite short sighted versus the wealth of other 3D dev tools out there
