Rant:
Mwahaha, and you all though i havent been working on anything recently.

Anyway first rule of this topic, no rudness or ill lock it, i had enough the last time i posted this thats why very few people have heard of the progress on this recently.

Spec tests
With spec tests always download the latest and post the specs (usually in the top-left hand corner) you get when running, and your computer specs.

Engine spec test 1 (Particles and multiple camers) - http://www.savefile.com/files/2792667

Infomation:
Most of you are already aware of this, it started as zgm and progressed to this, the main design idea was to get a game maker going that was complete cross-compatible and capable of creating 2d/3d/gui (and possibly networked) applications with ease. So far ive stuck to these design goals and its gone well, most of its actually finished, but i shal'nt tell you any more until i release a usable version :).

Oh yeh and i could never agree on a editor layout, so ive made it editable :P, if you prefer no statusbar or SID rather than MDI, or any of the other options given you can remove them XD.

Theres a topic with more infomation on it here if you wish to read more, i dont have time to type everything up at this time (around midnight at time of writing)

Screenshots:
Heh, all custom graphics, cant accuse me of stealing now :P

Oh well, seeing as i havent given you much progress recently i may as well post some new screenshots.





Support:
Just stik the bp logo (or RGD logo) in your sig.

1.) Yep fully compilation to exes(and bin/(no extension) for mac and linux), and they're un-decompilable as 99% of assets aren't saved in there original format (scripts are saved to byte-code, images are saved to pixelmaps..etc) and its all encrypted.
2.) Yep RGD comes with a pre-built sever program you can run (or you can program your own :P), and the object editor has a few buttons on it to specfiy online capability (Things like Syncable?, Only local?, Only Remote?...etc) and a option in the project setting window to set weather its online or not.

Heh ive got a ton of cool features in it, it even supports physics (using ODE and flatland(possibly)) out of the box.

Similar to GM it has limits as freeware, but you can register it.

Oh and a bit more in answer to one of your last questions about online, im thinking of creating an activex contol so you can embed your games directly into internet browsers (though this is still an idea, not decided yet)

Bit of both, its not as simple as GM, but then again its not meant to be. It dosent use Drag & Drop but it does use a pusedo-code event system as its "easy" asbtraction layer, where you dont want to code.

So it more like c++ where you acctualy have to learn something instead of just screwing around?

No, as ive said it has a pusedo code event system (basically you have an event line where you can choice conditions and actions eg. (Condition: ~Varaible~ is above 20 Action: Destroy object ~tag~) (sorted like gms D&D but different interface), and thinking of its its probably simpiler to.)  Its kinder hard to explain, youll have to wait until i release it or do the help files ;). And the scripting language is designed to be very simple(but has some high end features(You can even hook into events with the hook keyword, but thats neither hear nor there <_<)) so going straight into code should be to hard.

You've just become my favourite person of the week. Most 3d dks are 50-700$ or more. Also whats this Rotational map thing I see in the screen.

Maybe, but I really prefer NOT paying for things. It puts my shinies closer to the negatives.

Possibly. As for screenshots, there fullsized they just seem to get shrunk by the forum, paste the link into the address bar :)

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!
