Yes, it is really practical to make a game specific editor for your own taste and requirements, but it is quite a big work. I know because I'm also developing my own
I decided to choose this way because I need special map decomposition for RTS pathfinding and AI, and because there is no other editor I could use for very fast outdoor level design.
I have little practice in effects, particles, shaders etc., so an editor that gives a complex flexible help for graphic design by a nice gui would be really fine...

I asked him

thanks!

We are not all programmers or make our own shaders, multitexture programming and other stuff.
For example i use C script for only gameplay, that's all, that's wy seeing this great editor , i really find it awesome for all it can do, and project ideas using this editor it i have a good bunch from 2.5D action game, to RPG etc ... !

Got an answer:


This means that they only use this editor for their game and do not think about releasing it. Beside that they are not in contact with conitec.

Thanks alibaba

(I'll have to learn to use some GUI library with 3DGS if i want to make my own 3D editor)

sad, sad... they could do earn some money with it, but would get some competition too...
making a good GUI sucks, I know
but a graphic interface for shader making would be fun, when I'll updgrade once to commercial...

@ratchet, you can use winforms with c# wrapper. Also i am working on a html/js(chromium) plugin for lite-c. You can design ui using html5/css3/flash and interface with it using lite-c js. Should be available around june/july.

I've used winforms with a C++/CLI DLL... but it's a bit painful to get the whole thign running. And CLI is considered outdated.

Thanks Quadrax
But i prefer keeping it simple in terms of programming; perhaps i'll see to use LBGui if it can display all Gui stuff above the 3D scene ?
