Helios, you finally posted it! I'd be glad to put that logo in my sig, but if you could make a smaller one, it would be awesome!

I just took a look at the screens and sh*t this is awesome!

I was thinking about the price, 5$ is really nothing, I mean you have been working on this for the last year (even more!) and only 5$? Maybe you could keep that price for ZFGC-ers but for the public... Well atleast you're gonna beat the hell out of GM!

I can only wish good luck to you!

Wait, in every post I make I ask for the help files in order to translate them, but the major drawback of GM (in the French community), is that the tool itself is in English. Is there a possibility for me to translate the software? Don't worry, I won't need the tool itself, just a text document or .xml file with the words.

Also, will this tool be upgradable with extensions? I guess no because Mac and Linux don't have .dlls... And I presume RGD also exists for Mac and Linux, not only for Windows right?

Keep it up!

1. ) Yes ill release languages files later, but not until im done.
2. ) Not sure about extensions, but its perfecly possible as linux and mac both have there equivilent of dlls (CHM for mac, and a shared library for linux)

3. ) Ill post RGD's icon in a sec if you wish to put something in your sig. (Edit: Here, goter sort out the alpha-channel)

What kinds of 3d models does it take? Does it support 3d skeletons? I use blender which creates .blend files. Will it support that? Does it have a modeler built in? Thanks Logged

1.) Dot get ahead of yourself im still programming, payment is the least of my worrys at the moment.
2.) Yes the layout i have for the 3d engine does support most of the basic 3d system (skeletons, generic formats..etc)
3.) I dought ill include blend files as its a very uncommon file-format for 3d games, but i might, you dont know.
4.) No, no modeler will be built in (well i might, but i dought it), its a system for making games, not making assets.

Correct, only the basis of the 3d engine is done, at the moment im concentrating on getting all the cool GUI and 2D stuff in (Physics and what not)

Look at my first answer at bullet point 3.

Yes i will be using the most common file-formats, ill add more as i progress, the first ill concentrate on are 3ds and a custom format.

As ive said thats up to the user, if i followed that logic, id have to put limits on the amount of scripts you can run, amount of objects per map, ...etc which would be a real pain for users, all i have to do is program and optimize the engine, the application of it is up to the user.

At least that means someone can say "Check at this highly detailed 3D game!" and someone downloads it and it slows down their computer 10^10^100 (ten the the power of ten to the power of one hundred, or a Googleplex) fold. This would be for April Fools, of course. Logged
