Re: Best Game engines
even performance? not possible to achieve the same level of performance with unity, until the next update is out?

Re: Best Game engines
I really want to try Unity, it seems top notch. Sadly, there are no developer tools for Linux. They have a SDK for Windows and OSX but not Linux so for me, it is a deal breaker which is a HUGE pity. I really want to work with it.
Unity is much more than an 'engine', it is a middle-ware that handles multiple things (2D, 3D and Sound) at once while 'engines' like TechX, Ogre3D, Crystalspace and etc. are just 3D engines.
Don't forget Unigine, a very modern middle-ware:

There are many other engines, many open source:

Re: Best Game engines
unigine, AFAIK, appears to be a terrible solution, all working in proprietary format.

Re: Best Game engines
Care to explain? It supports many formats, such as COLLADA, Blender and Maya3d.DarkAnsem wrote:unigine, AFAIK, appears to be a terrible solution, all working in proprietary format.
At least they have a Linux SDK which is more than I can say for Unity3D at the moment.
Can anyone list an (or more) Linux SDK, free or non-free?
Update: There is Leadworks, it isn't ready yet, but is an SDK that is in the works for Linux.

^-- It too is proprietary like Unigine.
Re: Best Game engines
Well, you probably know more than me. I personally couldn't get it, I have written to the developers but they have not answered me.

Re: Best Game engines
That is something else and you're right... the non-free aspect is a huge discouraging wall to get over/around.
I would love the idea to tinker for free/non-commercial reasons and then scale-up (with license fees) when making some for-profit. I'm still looking for something viable.
In the mean time, it is projects like OpenMW with Ogre3D, SDL2 and OpenAL that is at least something to work with.

Re: Best Game engines
If someone could fully utilize the HydroEngine, that would be kickass.
Re: Best Game engines
the hydroengine is not even available... or is it? I cannot find it
Re: Best Game engines
I have no idea. But the game Hydrophobia was far too short. The engine was used for that, best water I ever seen in a game. Its too bad they didnt really make a game to its full potential with it.DarkAnsem wrote:the hydroengine is not even available... or is it? I cannot find it
