When you buy/ upgrade gamestudio, you don't only buy the engine, editors and the like, you buy a license to publish an infinite amount of games without paying royalty fees, people should consider that, too. (In contrast to UDK for example.)

Cool, if I can learn how to use this software, I will actually be able to develop something good.

Absolutely correct ... but then again, most of us will never really publish much of anything - so for most of us, this is irrelevant.

I did. After I turned off all this poo.

@Superku: Ogre is Opensource and you have to pay 0$ when releasing a game.

What I would like is the following:
Conitec opens a thread where all users can post their ideas for A8. Then in the end, conitec creates a list of all those features that are possible from their side and create a poll. The features with the most votes will be implemented into A8.

They did something like that one or two years ago. I remember that dynamic soft shadow mapping won ^^

One last important question: We get Enet,ok but all those sweet features like server connect etc ONLY in PRO again?? If yes, its completely useless for com users who want to create a serious interface. So com users would use Anet or GStnet(me).

And whats about the splashscreen thing at the beginning? Couldnt your team change it that way:
User defines his own splashscreen, but in COM it has some kind of watermark during loadingscreen? Would allow more users to distribute(because for distribution most users trie to get a Pro version).

Rackscha

In the past it was possible to hand in a custom starter screen and Conitec would approve or reject it.

The templates on forecast are there from more than one year and there is nothing , only the racing game.

They should make complete ready to go and solid templates for A8.
That we would cutomize by changing/adding panels and any other things.
Some general stats RPG screen to distribute points for nay game( RPG, Bioshock like etc ...) would be a cool template also.

For the FPS template for example, make some sort of template that works ( a game with a first level and basic AI ennemy : cover /shoot, go to one point or another ) !
Something that plays like Bioshock with panels for stats, game begin/save etc ... that we could have to tweak even on the script code.

Well it asks lot of work, perhaps it could be done by people
that would be paid with a good amount of money if done very well ! (caus skilled people don't take on challenges just for a pro version sometimes) !

Well i'm curious about A8, i think it will be only 3D programming features, no new totally all in one world editor !

Well i'll give it a try, and perhaps will buy the commercial
version like i did for A6 and A7
I hope multiple vertex per bones to be in A8 commercial,
even little indie games deserves good character animations !

A7 comm already has that.
