Now Director 11 supports DirectX 9 and Ageia PhysX Engine. It seems game industry now is part of Adobe’s scope
Director 11

Here, there is a link with a game developed using Director 11 (I have not tried it)
Game Demo

Looks good but flash is good too, looks like their comparison page they are placing director for more full interactive works on cd/dvd and flash as web,
but the way I see it flash is becoming capable beyond web apps, anyones views?
ie now with flash you can implement papervision 3d or sandy etc...
and if you want to make more full standalone applications, er well there is always gamestudio!

Looks very promising. But have no experience with Director. Though I can do almost anything with flash. Please post Links for some good tutorials if available.

I consider this software as a heavily-overpriced-poor-of-features piece of crap! Once again Adobe prooved their greedy non-indie-friendly price policy

second that! die adobe!!!

This renders very slow and uses only one core of multi-core cpu.

But it lets you create media-games for web too. And there are some good demos available for it too. I have liked it for the features it provides. Maybe not to modern, like dx shaders or such. Would like to try if have some tutorials handy. It would be fun for learning purpose.

I've a lot of fun with 3D lingo when I working in a MultiMedia
Production company several years ago. 3D Lingo is good and very
easy to use but the 3D rendering is terrible, I don't think they
will improve too much about their 3D features. As I know that
the 3D engine was made by Intel not on their own.

'But it lets you create media-games for web too. And there are some good demos available for it too.'

You can do that all with flash and its cheaper, fair enough
it wont do quite as good 3d.

Folks, Director was an awesome tool to easily create, without programming (or with Lingo scripting), just about ANY kind of interactive application from kiosks, to interactive stories to games and the like. The original Myst was created with Director as a main tool. Several other early games (such as The Journeyman Project) were created using Director. I have several promotional CDs that have fully interactive menus and very detailed systems of interactivity that were created using Director. While I haven't looked at the current iteration of Director, I would not discount it. While it is now an Adobe product, Adobe did by Macromedia and Director was originally a Macromedia product.

Direct was an awesome tool. I suspect that the new one will be just as awesome. However, Director is not a tool for EVERY project. If someone uses it for what it is not intended then they are certain to think Director is trash, just as if I were to try to remove a screw with a toilet plunger. The problem would not be the plunger, but the person using it .
