lite-C will be the bridge for 3DGS users to real game development...

What this mean? I've been using 3DGS since the language was still called WDL. I would consider myself a "real" developer working on a "real" game. 3DGS, in it's current form, is certainly "real" and you can make "real" games with it. There are many misconceptions about our little engine; one being that it isn't all that powerful, is slow, and other such silly things. It's much more powerful than a lot of people give it credit for and can kick ass with the best of them and is very friendly for developer like myself who don't eat, sleep, and drink code. I can use the skills I learned in classes way back in the day and those I've learned since and apply them to c-script (or Lite-C when I start getting serious with it, because then I'll be ready for the "real" world ).

I was going to comment on some other remarks in here, but this particular line from jcl sums it all up nicely. Conitec is a business in a very competitive market. They were one of the first and best (and still are as far as I'm concerned) at what they do, but times do change, which means change has to occur with the product. There have been a lot of engines spring up with only 1-2 years of development and seeming $500,000 worth of features (comparing it to Unreal3); however they require the user to know C++ or something similar which automatically makes me move on. C-script is a brilliant language. I don't care what "real" programmers have to say about it. It works, and the "fake" programmers and designers can learn it. Lite-C is pretty much c-script with more bells and whistles and more conventional ANSI C crap thrown in to appease the "real" programmers, so they can hook into all those "real" tools and APIs and whatnot.

All right, enough of my smart aleck jabbing to the ribs of xXx. I'm going to go continue work on my "fake" game. I just wish my Wacom Intuos3 6x8 tablet would hurry up and get here. I can't wait.
