marcus do you have the latest version ? I would be glad to have a some feedback !


cheers

sueds,

Yes I have the latest version. It is still in beta. Josh has stated he expects to release it in about two weeks.

What kind of feedback are you looking for?

I have been playing with the C# coding. I am a programmer so my feedback on artistic questions will be slowed as I relay them to another member that is more art oriented then myself.

Well ok but at what cost ?
I tried this high quality rendering engines but I got a very low frame rate on an old but not that old system ( ATI Radeon 9500)

cough, cough. that's 4 generations behind today's standard. (rad 9xxx - rad X8xx - rad X18xx - rad HD 2xxx - rad HD 3xxx). considering the standard game dev time of about 18 months, the time your game will be released, your card will not be better than a candle holder.

Do not exagerate
Here in this forum most of us have modern hardware but it is not the case of occasional casual game end users

i do not exaggerate. the 9500 originated in 2002, that's 6 years behind now (1 1/2 system generation, assuming a system's life span of 4 years) and P4 Nothwood era.
if you want to focus on casual games, focus on the Intel GMA/X graphics chips that are built into laptops.

I wouldn't look upon the HD2xxx series and HD3xxx series as different generations, but it's true that the ATI Radeon 9500 is pretty old by now... at least in my opinion.

Don't remember the numbers but according to gamespys research, the majority of gamers have machines capable of running next gen stuff. (aka deferred shading 'n stuff...)

video cards have also had a dramatically lowered price, and now event the new budget cards are pretty powerful, for example i just build a friends computer and was able to get a radeon hd2600 for $49 that isnt amazing but isnt really challange by most games except like crysis, and as for my vid cards, i spent $130 and got dual sli nvidia geforce 8500gt's and they can play crysis at full settings in just about every area except areas with complete foliage so again for a card that runs well (not perfect) its not that expensive nowadays. (btw, my cards were purchased 5 months ago now too, so its probably around the point were prices get dropped again, around every 6 months)
