TGEA ? Are you just blind ? No seriously man ... TGEA Is no match with leadwerks when it comes to graphics. Now if had to choose between c++ and blitzmax I would rather choose blitzmax. Anyway I think if you are working on a7 why would you switch to tgea ? It's a shame that guy on this forum are only looking for package instead of framework. It's a bit harder but then you don't have to wait for the feature you want, you just build it. I'm not even a developer even if I'm now working on xna. But this a bit off topic.

I've just seen the gears of torque and it looks like a good ps Game. tyou shoudl try gamecore maybe it suits you better.
