It feels like GS is slipping lower and lower on the food chain...

Hm does not sound bad at all but still I don't know any great Unity game, which one did I miss?

@Toast: Ok that are some big titles, I did not know/see that.

Wow - Umbra Occlusion Culling for "free". That's the same tech of games like Dragon Age or Mass Effect...

@Superku:
Yeah it tends to get used by very niche games often although with the new Need for Speed World and Tiger Woods PGA stuff there are some more common titles in the works...

Well, I think they´ve got some well paying sponsors + many sold copies = much money -> nice features -> even more sold copies -> ...

I am not yet much into unity but will get more into it soon. So far, I like gamestudio a lot for its flexibility, by still being easy to understand and very comfortable in terms of coding most things.

However, those seem to be some nice features if one wants to create a modern game without having to care about the tech.
On the other hand, Unity costs MUCH more than gamestudio if you want to be able to have the same features...

I don't see a future for Gamestudio. Conitec seems to have given up already. They don't care about it anymore. Look at the mini-features that get added to the beta page every 2 weeks. str_setchr() and str_getchr()...

On the forecast page: WED & MED -> Revamping the user interface... crazy It's kind of sad and it's a mockery of the customers. There was talk about revamping the user interface of WED & MED almost 10 years ago already but it seems all they did so far is moving some buttons around and making some new icons while keeping usability a nightmare that is messed up beyond all repair.

Where are the new developers JCL said he would hire?

The forum is dying too. A few years ago there were 10 times more posts per day.

Indeed. I can not argue with stated facts of amy, as I agree with them. But ah well, if 3dgs dies, we'll all step over to unity. Not?

untiy3d just keep getting better and better. Makes me want to stop fooling around with gamestudio and learn unity. frown

@JOOZEY-

I think JCL will keep the Gamestudio project running with minimal effort as long as some sales still trickle in (like he already seems to be doing since a while) and at some point in the not so distant future it won't be worth it at all anymore.

Then he could open source Gamestudio. tongue

Though it probably would be a lot harder to build a working open source community around Gamestudio (and its parts like the hopelessly outdated editors and a hard to understand Lite-C compiler with chinese comments) than to simply create a Gamestudio clone with already existing and well maintained open source projects like Ogre, Mono, Bullet, a customized Blender 2.6 for level editing,...
