After reading through the Lite-C page on your website, I have a question. Is Lite-C a version-exclusive program? I am not specifically talking about engine version (A5,6,7), but also between Extra, Commercial... ect. If I understand correctly, Lite-C will be sold seperate apon final release, but do you need a certian engine/program version in order to use it?

PS: If it is in the tutorial, I am sorry, but 14MB is nearly 60min on dialup .

No, it is stand alone, you don't need a certain Gamestudio edition for lite-C. From the features it's roughly equivalent to the standard edition.

Just to make sure I got that correctly - LiteC definitely includes Acknex, doesn't it?

from what I have read it is a new standalone product AND will be included as the scripting language for gamestudio. The standalone version will not have WED. It should be in the next release of gamestudio (correct me if I am wrong on this JCL).

So gamestudio owners will get it for free with a future update.

Yeah, but the standalone version will include Acknex, won't it? Not WED, okay, but Acknex. Does it use the extra version of Acknex then? Or which one?

Yes, it includes the acknex engine, equivalent to the standard edition plus some additional features.

Will the "normal" version of GameStudio still be available, without the Lite-C and with WED? If not I won't be updating unless the addition of Lite-C gives some sort of phenomenal new feature.

I have been reading the posts from JCL and from what I have read the next major version (A7) will have Lite-C. It will still have WED, MED and SED. Lite-C is also a standalone product with a version of MED that can be used to create models and levels (mdl as a level). This version would be ideal for casual games like those found on realarcade. A7 with Lite-c is a fantastic combination that can be used to create complex levels with complex logic to run them.

I am so looking forward to A7!

If it's that good, I might just use it after all.
