It's been a while since I'd checked them out. They've come quite a ways!

And it's Python-scripted.

Interesting.

Hmm Im not to sure.

Quote:
Miscellaneous

* Collection files so that you don't have to store hundreds of files in the engine's directory
* Automatic memory management and garbage collection on both C++ and Python objects. For C++ objects this is an option.
* Easy user interface building.
* Truetype font support
* Cross platform and cross compiler

System requirements

* Windows 98/ME/2000/XP
* Pentium III 500, 128 MB RAM
* OpenGL Compatible 3D Graphics Accelerator, DirectX compatible Soundcard

I will assume that this sdk is a library?
is that correct?
I dont see mention anywhere of full source.

then they say "Cross platform"

and then the sys req have only windows listed.

*shrug*

I thought it was called Syphilis too. Speaking of... is it true that if you keep making video games all day every day that you will go blind? My mother told me this once when she walked in on me... working on game dev... one time late at night.

OK. That was made up. :P

Interesting demo. Little too quirky and buggy for my liking as far as shelling out 99 euros.

Yeah - seems a little pricey for what basically amounts to a college project. I don't see much of an advantage to going with it when I've got Torque for cheaper and my own engine for free.

I like that it is Python coded, but there are some rough edges...

No, it is a full Engine, just like Unreal or Source.

"Yeah - seems a little pricey for what basically amounts to a college project."
A college project with a feature list as big as Doom 3!

Knowing my engine collection tendencies, I'll probably be buying it soon. Then I can look at it, think "wow...that's pretty...I like Python" and then tool around in Torque.
