"if you are not going to upgrade to a7 anyways, then why did you start the thread...."
Hmmm, I didnt start the thread , lol , maybe you shouldl read it from the begining. It's funny to see all the programmers defend their "programming" , lol , I know how to script , pretty good to , but I also know how to model, texture , map , and design , so I dont look at gamestudio as a sole programming application , in fact , it's the complete opposite. Now I see ur a noob who probably doesnt have any idea of what he's doing or talking about , or the purpose of the tool he speaks of is , so why dont you get better informed before makingn senseless and irrelevant posts.

ive worked on many engines in the past, and many commercial applications, i guaruntee i know a heck of alot more then you'll ever know...you sound very childish...and i did not say it was a sole development tool, i said if you do not know how to program ( refering to an earlier post ) then why try to develope a game unless it was a hobby, in which case you dont need to be arsey about the tool you are using... the developers of the software will be spending alot of time and putting alot of effort into the application, if you think you can do better, why dont you try for yourself... if not then like i said, request features, dont try to put them down on what they've developed for the public, if one day they got sick of .... like you, they may stop developing for the public and sell only too large companies. (i cant imagine this, but its a possibilty) if they had more money then brains im sure they would of banned you already, but i think they are smart enough to ignore an idiot like yourself.

Ok.. I started reading this topic from page 7 and went to page 6 then 5 and then I started from 1 to get the hold of this discussion.
at page 7 and 6 I thought 'why do i die' was just a trouble maker but then I realized that actually he's completly right in many aspects.

I would expect conitec to add more rendering features than what's currently right now I don't see diffrences between except render2texture and unlimited physics but this is not engine changes as its only lisencing changes.

but with all the features adding that A7 is going to get is looking alot better I think but it's still not there,
right now A7 is alittle worse in condition than A7
thanks to
-worse GUI
-still menu disapearance's when entity properties is open or still open under game runtime
-still same problem when aligning object through the z,x,y lines as when the mouse gets close to current selected window edge the objects starts going wild in aligning and ends up far away from current position.

more examples on programming,artpipeline and such would'nt hurt
like how many poly's for a fps player model
how much poly for 3rd person player models
like Dx10 feature would be a more significiant engine upgrade.

A7 is a different engine and thus naturally has it's pros and cons compared to A6. However it's finished, meaning that it won't get any better and there's nothing to develop any further with it, aside from possible bug fixes. The next engine to develop will be A8 and that's far in the future .

As you can see on the forecast page, the development focus in the next time is indeed 'eye candy', like shaders, shadowmapping etc, and the editors.
