Yes, of course it is missing content and that is, why we are looking for more members . And that article by Hummel actually isn´t really what the forum is meant to be for, as such articles just don´t really fit into forums. Such a forum is meant to change rapidly while such articles should just be at an easy to find place where you find them instantly. The forum really is meant for solving problems and discussing different topics. The problem is that mostly due to the little number of users, there aren´t really any problems yet and also no real discussion which is worth discussing.

one thing some people missing about the 'Fools': It's not just about GS.

But don't forget that 3DGS is mainly aimed for Absolute Beginners. I don't see that. And yet there is perhaps a lot more truth in that comment than you'd ever admit. I wonder why for example that 'pros only' forum has only 16 members so far. Such a thing has been tried in the past before and failed. Why would it work now? Honestly a lot of the more experienced users tend to lose their interest in 3DGS and move to other programs by the time they're really able to use 3dgs to it's full potential. Think about Unity3D, the free Unreal engine and so on. There's so much else. The fact that you can still use C-script and the relatively newbie-friendly lite-C too isn't perhaps that relevant to getting things done in 3DGS, but it's definitely a serious clue about the target audience. Just think about how Unity3D automatically integrates with other programs like 3D Studio Max and Photoshop within a very neat and effective work-flow. It's aiming at an entirely different audience. One that can't easily be classified as 'absolute beginners' by any standard. 3DGS is no Click-n-Play or Gamemaker and still requires skills (especially programming skills once you'll get serious with it), but I think it's not a wrong classification to think of it as a beginner engine.

- There are "only" 16 users because I didn´t invite more in the beginning.
- I can´t remember anyone having tried something like this before.
- So far I am pretty happy with how it is running.
- If it does fail, I don´t see a problem with it.
- Unitl now I only asked gamestudio users to join, but the forum isn´t meant to be focused on gamestudio as the engine shouldn´t matter much for a more experienced user anyways.
- Unity vs. A7 has nothing to do with this thread.
- That C-Script is kept is mainly an advantage for professionals like Dejobaan Games.
- Lite-c is a lot less beginner friendly than Unitys Javascript thingy.
- Gamestudio is "aimed" for absolute beginners. But more experienced users can get much more use out of it.
