Hiya.

Yeah...their "list of things to do" has me doubting their 'early 2007 release'. But, what the hell. I like new toys to tinker with. I'm sure I'll get at least a couple of months of fun outta these. Their interface and hot-key choices leave something to be desired, that's for sure! You can tell that the guy(s) writing it are 98% programers and 2% artists...I guess it makes perfect sense to them to use Ctrl-Right Click to place a model on a map, and regular old Left Click to...uh..to do absolutely *nothing*. o_O Talk about non-standard!

But still...it seems that once I get all the little fiddly bits down it will be fun to just kinda 'make an RPG'. (I'm not planning on an actual MMORPG...what I would want to do, RC couldn't handle; I knew that before I bought it). I still love A6...probably use it primarily still...but RealmCrafter is kinda like grabbing a cheeseburger, fries and a large coke. Its fast, easy, fun and tastes good...but it still doesn't beat barbequeing your own top sirloin, baked potatoe (with soure cream, chives and bacon), and and ice cold beer. RealmCrafter is the 'fast food' of the RPG engine creation tools I guess. It's good for what it does, but you can't really live off of it.
