IT seems very light : like i said all the time :
we need a complete demo : several animated models , dynamic lights, shadows,
normal/specular shader , animated trees ,particle effects , AI , physics ...

Just by seeing the screens, it looks really LIGHTWEIGHT

And be carefull , to not by a new engine , that authors will abandon a year later like BV engine

indeed interesting, specially the ability to create web-applications. 99$ may be something i'll pay for looking deeper into it.

there's a free PLE out for all of us to try with publishing disabled.

@expert: if you want to see and play demos, install the web player and run one of their demos on the gallery page.

@frank: devMaster says "Scene Management -- General, BSP, Octrees, Occlusion Culling, LOD", i couldn't find anything in the website though. but you could try it all out for free...

The problem : the only tool for models is for 3DSMAX
I use Blender and Silo only
And lot of real commercial indie team or lonewolf won't pay a very hight
only for 3DSMAX 8 or 9

In the videos : only one or two showed: the little arcade racing video is cool :
but you see quickly that the level is empty with lot of walls to prevent the engine to display lot of polys simultaneously !

in the shader video : some cool shaders : but in one object , no real in game scene with characters , shaders , shadows etc ... at same time !

the engine seems ver like DX Studio in less advanced !

Tried web demo under IE or Opera : nothing to do : it doesn't work ??

Fake engine ? how many people working in it ? updates how many during some 4 months ?

Engine to make money for the auhtor ,and let it down in the future??

Active ,big community ?

it's a relatively new engine with some weeks/months only on the market. and are you sure with the 3dsmax only import? check for collada import-> blender can do it with ease.
i didn't test it yet, because i already ate my download limit for this month, next month i'll test it.

Broozar : you can't test it caus any of their demos worked even after installing their fake plugin
under Opera or IE , it opens a window saying if you haven't installed their plugin after that, all demos show a white window !!

Well, i don't need a little engine ,instead i prefer some that can deal with big open scenes insread !!

Juts my advice ... now perhas i'm totally wrong and it's a strong engine ??
So proove me it with a big strong demo

I tried their engine and it's good. I just pkay with the wmall demo and graphics are good. The bloom effect or the car physics are both interesting and you can play with a full screen. I play it on firefox and I didn't have any problem. It's cool to make a game fully playable on the internet because if the really good way to advertise your game. Anyway I think it have a long way to go but now it's still something interesting to try
