Or even better, Lite-C wrapper for Unity

Gamestudio lacks manpower to do the needed steps ahead to catch up with Unity or other engines. Seriously have a look at Unity's lately doubled (!) team number. There's no way Conitec's small crew can compete here. Does anyone actually know the exact number of guys working on 3DGS? I always had the impression that it were around 5 brave little coders doing all the work...

When considering Unity's new features I'm also thinking of them maybe trying to get in a higher cost range or at least offer a new and more expensive edition at some point which offers all those fantastic 3rd party features. I at least seem to fail to understand how 1200$ or how much it was per licence should be able to pay for all that fancy stuff...

I don't think there are 5 full time coders for Gamestudio. They all (JCL included) only seem to work on it part time.

Unity probably won't get more expensive. Keep in mind that they don't only sell PC licenses but also iPhone/iPad, Android, Wii, XBox360, PS3.

LoL, i just tested the tropical demo.

I have to say: I am very very impressed...


I mean, this graphics are better as i saw them before - and that on a webplayer!


-.-

I keep hearing people say the toolset sux, but all else is OK... I'll agree.
And that Conitec doesnt have the manpower to resolve that... No comment.

So why cant WE do something about it?
George has a project running for the community to build a game,
is there anyone out there with the time and guts to co-ordinate a project
where we the community design and write our own editors?

With the varying skillset we have we should be able to build our editors
to satisfy most users, and have it written in lite-c...
Great way to PROVE the power of lite-c.

Let the flame-war begin ... I can take it ... Im a smoker anyway. :b

The key for success for anyone in any competitive market is to find a niche and fill it well. I think that the engine market is big enough for several players. Game Studio just needs a bit of tuning to a niche left open by other engine makers. My opinion is that it's the template system. I know seasoned programmers will say, bah, but a robust FPS or RPG template would probably do wonders to generate revenue from enthusiasts.

Making a spectacular game to showcase the engine and generate revenue would be wise as well.

not even close.... wow that is just so utterly wrong that I dont know what words to use to express how wrong that is.

I really like EvilSOB's Idea...


We do have great programmes like, evilsob, djbmaster and many more!

IntenseX was one of these things. Look what happened ...

We talk about the fact, that we, the community create editors
