Thanks for the video ! In fcat the video don't show any 3DGS programming skill. (Even when walking there is no animation of arms or gun, it's like driving a car ) There is no ennemi AI, no LOD , no realtime Dynamic lights working with shaders, no explosions, only a little particle effect on water , no weapon change (no mini gun, no sniper rifle), and no special effects , no cinematic, no HUD .... Hummm Well in fact the demo shows 3D skills in 3D art nothing exceptionnal ! It's only good vegetation, trees, sand texture, grass texture, good looking skybox, some simple platform with simple textures and 3D assets on top of it. I even find all that lacks a lot shadows, and vegetation seems too bright and simple sometimes : no shadows (baked) , no specular ... It only shows they have managed to finish a litlle level with terrain and vegetation, something complicated even today to make with A8 when you look at terrain and vegetation tools of Unity or Torque 3D for example ! But i agree it was great for the old days, and the team had good potential, i think they found making a detailled game asks for LOT LOT LOT of time ! Just my opinion.

ratchet, read what i wrote before!
again: "You should know: xexes made the plugin for better grafics. there was only one level (testlevel), just one player model, one npc-model, some weapons, alpha animations, and "stolen" textures (reason for the abort) So the only thing that realy do exist is the plugin for A6. i only have the player, npc, weapon models (somewhere on my hard-copy). So the project was over before it has began."
So accept it, that this was no real project! I never said, that our team wrote an ai, or shooting-action-scripts with explosions effects or something else. We just did some art-work, with models, 2-d, 3-d work, sounds, music, and a plug-in. Nobody claims that it was a finished playable game!
And today i am gamestudio and unity user. You can make with a7 / a8 or unity 3d great games. THe big and only big problem i see with gamestuio: support, Compatibility. Everyone with some professional skills in 3d-gafic knows that it is a problem to import and use professional made characters, animations, ect.... thats the only big + i see in unity.

Ok, I should read myself before posting ! Well the team had good potential, if they have managed to make something as good in the old days , with today tools or engines, they could do a very good FPS i think ! To import graphics, in A8 or Unity , from Blender it's easy to import a 3D animated model, i've already tested the two engines. In A8, it's a bit more complicated caus you need to use MED before WEB and use FBX import ! In Unity it imports it directly, the internal use of FBX is not visible !

right, and thats the reason i like unity more. But for little games with fast scripting is a7 also a good tool.
