One of the most important things for basic-codeing is still missing.. Local variables debugging . Debugging Lite-C code is one of the critical flaws in 3D-Gamestudio.

But nevertheless i'm really satisfied with the announced features.

to support webgl it would have to be written in javascript. i doubt this will happen.

the announced features sound nice. i would also like to see the OPCODE based ellipsoid collision detection replaced. doing a nice character controller (without gliding and getting stuck issues) is much harder than in all other engines i know. it also would make a lot of sense if physics and normal collision detection used the same collision detection system (support for the same primitives,...).

i agree about the editor. the engine will be quite competitive again if all the announced stuff works well but there also should be an unified wysiwyg editor.

also, deferred shading with unlimited lights as an option would be nice.

yes! and as you stated in the other thread you want to selling it for an ipad touch. Whats is the problem?

So its nice to see that the new unity-guys also have an eye to the further development of the A7 engine with their "outdated editors".

Back to Topic:
--------------

I cant wait to get my hands to the new features, especially
the new Shadow-thing, Bone-thing and Physics-thing.


Unlike many of others here arround I dont care about "the Look" of the Editors or the design of a website.

What really count is the substance and stability of the engine! A shiny website is for Pus**es.

Give me a stable Version of GED and I'm happy.



So JCL move on!

regards gri,

No, you don't understand.
If I was going to get A8 for free, I won't sell my license, but since I won't get it, I'll sell it. And then I'll get my iPod Touch.
I WILL try A8, if it's not what I expected I'll stick to Unity, if it'll be TEH AWSUM ANGIN!!!!11, I might give Gamestudio another chance.

And I'm still excited for A8!

I hope that the WED 3d window will be replaced by a GED plugin with engine window.
For MED I'd expect an engine window as well. Maybe it's possible to write a simple plugin for that. I haven't looked into MED plugin stuff yet.

Why not including essential imp/exp formats of MED directly in the open/save dialog? This way you could open models of a non-mdl. format by "right klick -> open with -> MED" in the explorer

holy shit, now that's awesome news.

Do you consider a rebate offer for the 'early' upgraders like back when A7 was released?

JC,
This type of news is always great to hear...
Each upgrade seems to help me attain new solutions.

One comment for A8...
Can Med be altered to make use of mocap files user friendly???
This could add a great deal to everyones animations.

And... One Question...
Will you offer a discount for seniors???
(Age should have some good points.)
