when someone succeed in making the blender plugin work can he let us know.

I haven't try it myself but as soon I came back home I may have a look too.

ratchet, you are a lone wolf but if you were going to tag with for exampel for or five friend and start to work on a game or build a company ( which many people do) 5000 $ would be nothing compare to waht you'll need to invest. But people do it all the time. Small studio keep opening their doors. So instead of spending 1 year building a engine not good as ut3 you could start working directly and find an investor or do preorder or such.

So yea for the hobbyist it's kind of ridiculous to spend that much money on a tool but for others who are aiming to be legitimate game developpers ( I mean in a team and such ) this is nothing compare to what they have to face a month ago.
