c# and java run on virtual machines too. why is lua supposed to be a scripting language and c# and java not? there even is a very fast jit compiler for lua. this scripting/programming distinction is a bit silly in my opinion.

i agree about lite-c. i often find it way too low level for writing gameplay code. it can be very cumbersome...

i agree im done with lite-c but not the community

Oh I think I get it. So a component is like a class without instances, and its methods don't refer to itself -- each method is called by referring to the component name?
I like low-level for things that need to be really efficient -- such as game programming (although the CPU load is perhaps less an issue now in games). Perhaps not so much for event scripting and some things, but I still don't have a problem with it.

A8 has just been announced.

It was about time for A8 but the feature list didn't knocked me off my feet. For me Unity has risen the bar.

Also the prices for the pro versions at the moment aren't that different:
A7 Pro: 798.49 EUR
Unity 2.5 Pro: 880.00 EUR

I'm somewhat curious if the A3/A4 textures are being replaced in A8

Yes, this is the time i get to decide which way i am going to go. If i dont get what i expect from a8, i will switch to unity.

(altough if the price to upgrade from is same with a6->a7 comm. upgrage, i will still upgrade )

Yes,In Unity3d you have for example a class Transform which includes the functions : Translate,Rotate,RotateAround,LookAt...
and the Inherited Variable : transform
If you want to move your object you can attach a script to it with the command : transform.Translate(1,1,1);

In TrueVision3d you have a class named TVActor which include the method MoveRelative()
You instance your object and you write :

myObject.MoveRelative(1,1,1,);

In my opinion the latter approach is more intuitive

Same here
Once I have placed in the scene my characters, buildings, trees, lights etc I wonder what else shall I do more in the editor ?

I spend my time in tuning my game , by trial and errors
I change a variable , I run the game , I observe , I tweak my code etc
Such exercise take 90% of my time

I suspect that many people speak of games but they actually mean virtual reality

Anyway me and you are lonely wolves
Everybody seems to be interested in graphics only

Is there btw a reason for the mouse position being given based on the bottom left corner, while all 2D elements have their origin on the top left? o.O

I agree. I thought that was the point of OO ^^
