Following the recent trend, the GameCore indie engine is now free too.

Hello

Are you still using GameCore ?
I have alwayes been interested in this engine
My gut feeling is that it is better than the super famous Unity
The editor is about the same quality but programming style is much cleaner in my opinion
I find Unity scrpit and commands somehow confusing

My concern was however stability and the future of the engine
I get frustated seeing some hundred people online in Unity and 3 or 4 in GameCore

Do they fix bugs in a reasonable time ?
Can they afford to update their engine on regular basis ?

By the way do you know wether they removed the obbligation to show the GC logo even for the professionale edition( now the only edition)
A minor issue but I did not like it

Yeah I'm still using it. I hope to have a demo of my game ready in a few weeks. I find it simpler and easier than Unity, and every other engine really.

Updates and bug fixes are pretty slow but steady. There's no time frame for anything, it's just 'ready when it's ready' which can be frustrating. As for the logo they did hint at future changes but there's been no official news on the subject.

Thanks
just a last question is the collision system as good as Unity's as far as you know ?

I'm guessing physics and collision are probably better in Unity since it uses Physx. GameCore uses ODE.

thanks again
I downloaded the free version but the demo is quite slow on my portable PC
The equivalent "Island" demo by Unity runs much faster on the same PC

-.- stop posting SPAM !!

Is the manual still this incomplete that you can call it useless? And does non US layout finally work?

The only persons spamming around here are you and me.
This is the "Tools" forum, get over it.
The discussion about CameCore fits perfectly in here.


Edit: Sorry Rei, my fault, peace!

@fogman,

there was a spam meesage like

"use gamemaker, good 2d engine"

looks like it has been deleted, rei was referring to it.
