same here, i voted for 2d improvements

ditto that's the way to go!

I think vertex weight and "more of everything" for terrains are the most important (to me at least).

Terrain tools and shadows indeed.
Caus It's standard.

Even if its not in the polls,I'd love to see an A6 version of normal mapping shader on models...other than that soft shadows and more skins and shadows on terrain will be my vote

what exactly is the soft shadow shader?
i mean, if it is something like the useless stencil shadows, we'd have now,with just soft edges,then it will be a useless BUT soft feature

2D improvement like collision and c_move function for panels? that would be great!

I voted for 2D improvements.

I voted for Vertex Weights and I'm proud of it

Actually I'm not sure this is the most right way to get the most wanted feature to add in next release, but -jcl- and the team will get a hinch of what most people of this forum wants. I buyed A6 commercial before I knew there wasn't any multiple bones per vertex animations, So my eager to start got stalled... I wont't start to put in great effort before this feature and some other ( split animations, multiple models only singel animation file) ideas suggested elsewere on this forum are in the pipe for release.

But after all what matters is what type of games do most people use GameStudio for? There would be the best place to put the efforts, and that would keep the GameStudio community happy.

You can't have the cake and eat it too, there must be a path selected, please the already devoted or add features that would add more new users, simple state but a hard golden quest to choose from

I follow the evolving of this great engine, but for the moment It doesn't have the features in the animations/model structures I would like to have to make things easy for me.

together with vertex weights conitec should also implement a blend shape feature for facial animation which can be mixed with bone animation.

I'll let whatever comes, come. We're going to learn how to manipulate these things for other purposes either way.
I would like to see gamestudio integrate into blender and MED get disposed of.
