Yes, that's a hint to go with the damned time already and realize that it's not 1985 anymore.

Now please go another 24 hours or so with the time until the DNS update went through

looks nice. are they relatively high poly models resulting in only 40 fps? I would be interested in what features are exactly on/off in this scene (model instancing, terrain lod etc.).

Instancing and terrain LOD are off. I may or may not have broken the instancing, so I may or may not be responsible for the fact that it's just 40 FPS.

I'll consult with our lawyer to find out if I'm allowed to take responsibilities for shortcomings.

So to your rayne engine.
Where can I buy it and how much does it cost?
Take my money and give me!

It is pay what you want, so it costs whatever you think it is worth it (or whatever you can pay for it, those two numbers aren't always the same). There is a catch though, and that is that you can't buy it. Yet.
We would rather work a month longer on it and give you something that is truly awesome, instead of selling you something that is more meh. We want something high quality, and that simply needs time. But feel free to subscribe to our newsletter and you will be notified when it's ready!

I wish you big success with your engine.

Nowadays its a Rise and Fall like this one....
S2 engine

first hyped - then free - now dead.

maybe because they created a scipt language much worse than lite-c... using c++ C# java lua or whatever is probably a better way.

Serious time, ladies!
Who would be interested to test drive the alpha? We need you to provide us with feedback, report bugs (that are going to be there, promised), and are not afraid of testing a lot of updates in a short amount of time (you don't have to test them all, but just testing it once for five minutes isn't going to help us).

When? January, right after you are done throwing up the new years meal
Reward? Fame(*) and a Rayne license (**)
Requirements? A computer. Some basic C++ knowledge. Internet access.
Motto? Stacktrace or it didn't happen. So yeah, you should also be able to submit stacktraces and repro steps.

Oh and just to be really clear: It's an alpha. Only stupid people would build a game based on alpha API. So yeah, essentially we are looking for free labour. Anyone?

(*) Fame not included
(**) Worth $1 if you are a scum lord.

Me me me! Finally!!
