greets

If you want, i can translate that interview

This would be cool alibaba ! if u take the time would be great.

"Hi People,
today i´m gonna answer one of the most asked question, why we use the Acknex Engine.
First i´m going to talk about the engine:
We use the acknex engine, made by german developers.
Now i´ll give you 3 reasons, why we´ve choosen the acknex engine.
The first reson:
We use this engine since 12 years, created a variety of games, like Kabus 22, SüperCan or C4Robot.
This means we have a lot of experience with this engine, we know every aspect of it, may it be the problems, workarounds whatever.
We have the full control over it.
The second reason is:
We created lot´s of tool for our workflow, like a shader editor, physic edtior, level editor and more. We improved the engine and our workflow.
We now have a big know-how about everything.
Last but not least:
Yes, other engines may be better, more advanced and easier to use.
But the minimum system requirements of these engines are set too high for our target.
We want that our games work on older systems and on notebooks, integrated gfx cards and the like.
We of course also want to achieve good grafics, which can keep up with todays technology.
Because of this we choose this Engine, because as you can see in SüperCan it worked pretty good!
This is why we continue with Acknex!"

Thanks alot alibaba for taking your time !
Feels good to read in these days.

The linked screenshot shows u guys seem to have full control over acknex. I really like the shot, guess never seen something better looking done with this engine ( ok besides Harry Potter's water - castle scene ^^ ). And iam quite sure we all here around know SüperCan very well. Tasty looking piece of software. You showed what still is possible.

If i remember right most gamer using no "killer" machines, so this is sure a good decision. Valve made a overview in the context of Left4Dead engine development, there ive read about it.

Great.

finally some great news, the game is very promising, hopefully now they make an English version of the game too...

There you have your AAA title now
It is very promising, because this team released some great games in the past.

tl;dr: Acknex sucks, but we stick to it because we build a solid toolchain around it over the time.

Honestly, while I like that there is an AAA title coming up made with Acknex, that interview doesn't speak for it at all.
PS: Thanks for the translation Ali

Yeah, that´s pretty much the core argument



No Problem
