3D Gamestudio A6, anyone ?

[Sparks]

Hi,

is anybody using the 3D Game Studio here ?
I saw on their site that Suricate use or used it...is it any good, or good enough for 3D casual games ?

It's good enough for just about anything, 2D or 3D.

We're using it for our upcoming title, Galaxy Rage (http://www.galaxyrage.com), and have used it for two previous titles (http://www.dejobaan.com) over the past few years. I'm really happy with it. You might also want to look at the various Torque engines. I don't have enough experience with them to compare, but they're popular among indies.

Hi Micehead - "eek out a short existence" should be "eke out a short existence"

and if you aren't out for last winter, and since you said upcoming, then I think your site should read "out for Winter 2007" instead of winter 2006. Looks like an interesting title.

Eeeek! I'll have to fix that; thanks. :)

Unless it comes comes out in december......

but that's an issue for another time. I'm using A6 for my projects it's a nice enigne for my purposes. You're only limited by your own scripting abilities. One caveat though, I can't reccomend the commercial engine because I don't have it. You have to pay for different versions of the same engine.

(Ie you get networking capabilities if you pay more.) I don't like being sold something in pieces. It is nice for a single player game. For my multiplayer stuff I plan on using torque. They're both about the same price too.
