Sorry, but this is just typical fanboy-talk.

MED helpful because it is a converter? Unity does that on the fly. Great Tool when you are patient? So is paint, but I'd rather use Photoshop or Gimp.

However, gamestudio advertises itself to be a complete suit, thus the video/audio point of RealSerious3D is fair

3run,
I don´t said that you´re not experienced (I know your stuff and it´s pretty amazing) and Dan hasn´t asked for a painting tool inside Gamestudio. It was just his response to superku´s point that Gamestudio is a complete solution.
It isn´t, because a complete solution needs a paint tool as well.

Don´t get me wrong, I love MED and I use it pretty often when I do Gamestudio stuff. But I can also understand Dan´s points.

[edit]



No. I mean, come on, it´s just another engine with lots of good and bad things.
If you´re heading for windows only theres no need to switch "ASAP".

Rei_Ayanami@ why are you here then 'funboy'?! Don't miss your chance, go and give unity the best blowjob you've ever made in your life!


fogman@ I guess that I've probably got Dan's position wrong. If so, then I apologize for offensing him or anyone else if I did. But if not, then I still have my point.


Edit: ohh.. Rei I just saw your signature now. So I guess my question goes useless now, as it seems that you had gave your best blow to IT already Have a nice day.

Actually I am not a Unity fanboy, since I would switch any second if I see something else good. (I am really hoping for the secret project of some guys here to turn out great )

Though, I have to admit, I only switched to Unity because of a job, and not because I thought it was awesome in the first place. Eventually it proved me wrong and I stayed.

Rei_Ayanami@ don't make me laugh out my pants.. have you seen your signature, not unity fanboy?
Well, never mind anyway, cause I don't really care.. If I won't see upgrades soon for the Acknex, then I'll think about other engine.

The next beta won't be out until next month. According to JCL, they have not given A9 any thoughts as yet. So ...

No, I could wait till next month! You won't see me off this forum this easy guys

Oh, it's not the beta projection that gets me. It's that no thought has been given to A9. None. If it takes 1-2 years to get a new engine out there, then we have a long, long wait before we ever see A9 ... if it ever comes out.

Whats so exciting about a version number?

Sheesh. Really? A 'version number' represents progress in the program. In the case of GameStudio, it normally means new features, big improvements, etc. Compare A3 to A4, A4 to A5 and on up the line. A3 was like Doom, a raycasting engine. The fact that they are not even thinking about A9 seems to indicate that GameStudio is at a dead end as far as the developers are concerned.

Oh ... and a 'version number' also means upgrade sales and possible new sales. This is how the software is funded. So the big deal is that without an upgrade path or an updated, more advanced program to attract new buyers, GameStudio is dead.
