That's what I said when I opened Radiant for the 1st time...You will get the thing...

I tested Sylphis...to heavy and unstable. I d/l A6 too. It comes w/o a demo game, so I cannot say how heavy it is. I also d/l a demo game that uses the A6 engine (reencounter). The game doesn't open, it says "Error on wdl script" or so...

It will be wise to choose a engine that is already complete and have no bugs on it. Something stable and preferably w/ support.

Crystal Space is still beta...

the option seems like Torque... but $100...

Well, we can search for a sponsor, 100 bucks is not much for sponsoring.

I also got very good news, we got a new modeler

Jaquar will post a message about this

I must agree, despite I was in love w/ Torque

QuArK is the recommeded mapping tool for Torque. Partly because the latest version suports Turque in the default install, and partly because it is free. ( Radiant is a licenced product, you are not allowed to use it for your own games unless you pay the man )

I think there is even map converters for 3dMAX and Maya

Oh, and you can also map in GTKRadiant

Ohh! well if you can use radient... and since the others arent really what we need... Torque still seems the way to go

As I understood, it's $100 per seat, which means every mapper needs 1 copy...unless we'll use only 1 mapper

(poor guy, will have to build 15 levels...).

And, in case of commercialize, we need to pay'em $495...

That's what i understood from here...

A free engine would be SO cool...I think we should try a little more others free engines 1st...I was not able to fully test A6.

No, the mappers will use an other free program to create the maps, like quark or something. Only the programmer need Torque.

Solution: Get X Copies for programmers, and commerical licence... then find a sponser to pay. Catch: In order to find a sponser, we should have website, full game plans, detialed level plans, textures, and anything else we'll use, to impress them.

Ah, sweet...

About the sponsor idea: They usually want a big piece of the cake...But maybe we can find some "nice" sponsor...

thanks for adding me

few things: programmer i intend to learn, so i may not be able to, though i can program PHP which is extremely similar to C++ so I got good chance of being ale to

also, put me down for concept artist and... maybe Website Hosting. I can host a site, forums etc. free at LevelEdit.com, as a subdomain (which yes you can get a .tk to point to). The only problem is bandwith. Its not too bad - I host a lot of sites just it coudn't cope a .map style bandwith, it would go over my limit.

I can upload forums et. PHP Nuke if ya really want (tho i hate it, every1 uses it now, and it costs more).

Also, regarding any costs needed to be payed for anything, I'll do my best to contribute

I can host forums... infact I am hosting them now... could I possibly point further discussion to them? (linked to in my sig)
