hi , how many times have we seen threads where people mention
what is wrong with gamestudio and in each of these threads
you would also find the people that at the same time say :
"hey i love this engine ", "hey this and that is acceptable"
"could it be graphics ,workflow or ..." (ratchet your being missed already)
...
so i have this idea and perhaps jcl would take it to heart..
why dont we in this thread list all dislikes and likes of the
current versions of gamestudio ,wed ,med...
and ideas for what would be great to see in the comming future for gamestudio ?
there are many things i have noted among the common requests for gamestudio
developement future ..
some of these are things like
a beautifull collection of shaders almost as the athour of shade-c was doing ,
did you notice how many responses there were to the shade-c package? that alone
should show you that it is indeed something we need because not everyone is able
to create beautifull shaders and i have to point out that pre made ready to use
shader packages is a big thing it takes alot of work away and makes things so
much easier for any person hoping to achieve a good look in a short amount of time!!
a terrain editor with the ability to paint onto the terrain , that is a big feature
that all of us would welcome and it would certainly inspire more terrain based games
being made for sure ! ,now editing like that is great but we also need streaming
of these joined terrain's so that we could really develope large beatifull worlds .
some sort of build in path finding system ,as game designer we need a pathfinding
system integrated and ready to use ,there are many possibilities for this as there are
many diffrent way's pathfinding but even a simple system would suffice as long as it
takes the work away from people who dont want and cant and dont see the need to develope
it themselfs ,pathfinding should be a standard among engines ,even it would be some
simple a* system with a floodfill/node edit tool to make things easier.
a gui editor ! this is one of the things i would also want to see in gamestudio ,
a editor where we could design gui windows and layouts ,save it to file and be able
to load it into gamestudio and just go and code our events , lbgui the author of that
sure saw the need and as always it is the users that develope and try to meet the needs
of other users ,i for one must say that any person that contributes tools for gamestudio
is certainly a treasure in the mids of sleeping giants !!..
there are so many people on this forum that saw the need for tools and missing features
and i encourage these people to keep up with it ,only to mention a few of the projects
shade-c ,lbgui ,all the script editors ,all the templates , sivan with his builder
there are many many more to mention but to much for this post...
