Ok so I really have two questions, the first of which I am sure I already know the answer to. Firstly, is there any chance that 3D Gamestudio will port over to Linux, or that it is compatable with Fedora 8? Secondly, assuming no, are there any decent game design engines along the lines of 3DGS that are designed for linux, or even specifically for Fedora?

Thanks

look up the cube 2 engine or it might be under a title called sauerbraten. it works on most os's. and no your right 3dgs doesnt work on linux without an emulator and then it goes at an unusable framerate.

irrlicht would be my premier choice.

Acknex is a DirectX9 engine and not designed for Linux.
I'd recommend irrlicht, too.

There are people who ran Acknex successfully with Acceptable framerates on Linux using Winex - but I don't think this is really useful for much more than development...

I haven't tried, but people said so. I can't remember who said that, though.

I can also run Amiga Programs on my PC, wich does not mean that the WindowsPC is
ment for running Amiga Games.
If you (for whatever reason) only want to use Linux, dont try to bend yourself and your
operating system to somwhow run Windows bases Programs. Its better to get Windows then in the first place.

Many other Indy OpenGL engines have native Linux support.

ShiVa will offer a native linux support in the near future (see my sig).
Michael_Schwarz runs Acknex in Cedega, which is more or less an enhanced WINE, at acceptable framerates, there are lads out there who play oblivion in cedega...
another possibility would be virtualizing the WINos through xen (SuSE, full/true virtualizing through AMD Pacifica virt. tech. or the Intel equivalent) or virtualbox (not as speedy).
