Some people might have noticed that Gamestudio development appeared a little slow in the last 6 weeks, as there were only a few new features for the beta version. The reason is not the work on the new WED, but mostly a new project.

The development started in December, and the main part is now done. Development will go on, but won't need much resources anymore. So the focus can now be on Gamestudio again. The next steps for the immediate future will be OpenAL, new PhysX features, and new templates.

The new Gamestudio project, with name "Dagobert", is scheduled for release by the end of this year. It's a massive multiplayer application, even more massive than "Utopia", but it's not a game. And most important, funding and payment are guaranteed this time .

Hi JCL,

That is a really good news! Good luck for your new project! And can't wait for the new features

I am guessing payment means more money for gamestudio development? (possibly for hiring more manpower for heavy stuff like new med?)

Sounds great, looking forward to see soft bodies.

And of course we all want some more Infos about Dagobert.

Greate Stuff!

The first thing I thought about when i heared dagobert was him. (he's only familiar to germans though.)

Will this be a crime MMO?
Or will this be a disney MMO? Would be a german disney MMO then, as Scrooge McDucks name in Germany is Dagobert Duck. Still possible though.. Or is it about the medieval king Dagobert I. ?

MMONASDAQ?
MMORPGDAX?

Congratulations.

"It's a massive multiplayer application, even more massive than "Utopia", but it's not a game."
So you are working on a Torrent client?

Good luck with your project, whatever it really is.

Is "Dagobert" made with Gamestudio

Good Luck

No one would use Gamestudio anymore, I'm sure that they bought a Torque or Unity3D license to make the MMBONG (Massively multiplayer bold online, not a game).
