I'd rather call it the millenium post of truth...
And I don't see any bashing in my comment. It's just me thinking that:

a)
3DGS took a couple of steps in the wrong direction during its development.

b)
Sometimes had bad luck (e.g. Lite-C source code comments in Mandarin).

c)
Had its development put on hold for literally years.

d)
Had an ever shrinking team of developers.

Adding up all of these problems 3DGS in my opinion nowadays is hardly competitve. That doesn't make e.g. Unity the all superior engine but ... well in most aspects it actually is superior hence its success...

Where did you get this info?

I think JCL wrote this quite a long time ago. They hired someone who did code Lite-C for them and that guy obviously was Asian. In some discussion of why development took so long someone - I think it was JCL - mentioned that people at Acknex recently were flabbergasted when looking into the source code of the said Asian developer who left after getting Lite-C done. Afaik we were told that this was why certain developments took a little bit longer as they had to decipher what certain things meant...

Yes i know for A6 empty years , and slow progress, nothing significtant for A8 after A7.



Lot of people here don't make any games , just code, visual stuff, this is not very different from me making little prototypes ?
Well enought fights ...
Let's forget this useless flamewar.

-------------------------

So it's not Unity, if Unity won't exist, believe me we would be comparing with any other advanced or UT3.

Let's just use it , and perhaps make a game with it ?
And people that stay,enjoy and have fun ...
There is nothing to defend, A8 is as it is, it's to you to keep it and use it in a clever way (Superku , Dungeon Dities, Battle For Forgol games).

Unity is assimilating you. Resistance is futile.

So it is a Borg cube in their logo after all...



It all makes sense now...

In each Empire living Rebells in the Underground, defending their states.

So like John Conner we fight against.....mmhhh....until Unity3D buy us all with a full featured version for an low price

Only that would break our Resistance !

So let us all call for Freeeeedooommm. (f*ck...we're not free....we're catched by Acknex and it never let us go )

Welcome to the Hotel California

exactly, I'm totally sure

imo if unity would release an intermediate version for a few hundred usd/eur, that would really kill a lot of other engines, but also decrease their pro sellings significantly. I think they investigated well the market, and can expect such an edition.

Even if it was free I'd still tell Unity to fuck off.
It's not actually about Unity being "better", I think Unity focuses on totally different games than Gamestudio.
It's more the envy that Unity has a huge userbase, tons of third-party-addons and actually feels like we're in 2013.

f*ck...we're not free....we're catched by Acknex and it never let us go
LOL

An intermediate version of Unity, it's already cheap for such advancde stuff, engine following proressing each year a lot and bringing very advanced tools and features each time.

@Sajeth :

LOL


And Unity don't constraint you to any game genre, you have MMo, racing, rpg, FPS, casual ... stop saying non logic and non sense arguments really.

Why not saying UT3 is bad also ?
Caus there is indie people making and selling games with it also.
I just don't like their license.


tons of third-party-addons and actually feels like we're in 2013.
There are incredibly usefull plugins.
Also for non programmers, you want to make a 2D game, just choose the available plugins that will help you directly jumping on creation.
There are awesome terrain extensions, new geometry tools, even some in editor real time modeler.

It's a totally open and easy to make plugins system :
SO YES, THIS MAKES YOU FEEL IT'S 2013.
Caus it's not a closed 3D editor like others, you can make your own plugins you would need, your own extensions, your own personnal tools for the editor.

I don't say it's the best but tell me what other engine allow you to make plugins so easyly ?

You are so obstined
Well you like a lot 3DGS indeed, and we do also, where is the problem ,love 3DGS, but don't say all other stuff is bad.
