Hello all,

I thought it would be fun to discuss why we love and hate the 3DGS engine.

I have tons of stuff that are pro and con, but I will start out with a pro and con, and hope everyone else continues the same way.

One Love and one Hate per post please.

Love: Many years ago, when I first started getting into Game Dev, 3DGS was a affordable, capable, and easy to learn engine.

Hate: After 7 years working with engine (you can check my join date), Conitec still doesn't listen to me when I mention the word bug, and won't even take the time to download a 100 mb movie that shows the bug in detail. I guess they assume my server is as slow as their's is and will take a few hours to download or something.

Carry On,
Loco

Love: Powerful, fast engine which can be modified almost without any limits.

Hate: Users who complain about bugs when it is rather due to their own inability.

love: used it for years, know the stuff not code... never get that) to get nice looking results, can produce whatever i want with the right people

hate: never find the right people, slow with many models on screen, no real widescreen support, no real multiplattform support, no real streaming into engine support...

Love: c-script (my first real programming langu... script grin), lite-c, DLL's, easy to start with, easy to perform the more advanced things with.

Hate: the lack of proper 2D support, the lack of advanced examples.
