Ratchet, is there any post by you that is positive in any way? If you dont think this is a viable solution, just ignore the topic, dont try to manipulate other users into thinking negative! Everyone has a right to see/try/judge. And in my honest opinion prototyping in Rad is far, far faster than A7 or Unity, i cant even start to compare... and I've been on this board since A4 and kept my eye on Unity since... i dont even remember

nuclear winter, I downloaded the engine yesterday, and it gives a fast start. I am interested in such a thing, because I make workshops about game making with kids. I'm looking for a completely freeware solution, because I don't want to force the kids to buy anything, in case that they want to proceed game making after workshop. Are there more options than making a race game, or walking or flying around? Here is a Very Basic Game Editor solution that I scripted for the kids: http://www.opserver.de/ubb7/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=282220#Post282220The advance against the yet free RAD3D is that I can extend - and the kids if they get familiar with Lite-C - the set of functions easily. I couldn't find anything where I actually can write my own scripts in RAD3D.

Pappenheimer: The website tells that 3d RAD has a scripting language.
It also looks like it has shaders (bump and env mapping) stencil shadows and shadow mapping and second uv-set for lightmaps. There are rigid body physics and collision. But I miss any comment about scene management.
But for teaching kids it could really be a good alternative.

Yes it can, no watermark or royalties... also it works great with OSA Kit (web browser plugin), if you search the forum you can find a couple of projects using it. Also there is this guy Mic (he is actually in the game development industry) that has a really great project of destructible vehicles ragdoll youtube video my arcade racer big-ass HDTV test with bump, specular, bloom, blur, etc... MIc's destructible car test check out his videos for more recent versions. I believe he had this demo in playable form somewhere.
