Wow that looks really nice.ezzetabi wrote:What about Tesseract the new Cube engine? As far as I understood it is easier than Cube2 since it has less rendering modes, but still it looks nicer.

Re: Best Game engines
People were trying to do RPG-esque things with Cube 2, so Cube 3 should be able to lend itself to such. It may only get used for FPSes, true, but it's not all it can do.DarkAnsem wrote:FPS-only, I fear.

Re: Best Game engines
I don't understand the problem...
just because something is made for specific genre doesn't mean you can't make it a RPG.
Take a racing game... add RPG elements, boom new genre: racing-rpg genre!
FPS engine, modify it so that you can do 3rd person perspective (if necessary) and build a dungeon crawler. This is what they did for Hexen, they took FPS Doom and made it an RPG-ish.
You can play D&D: Online like a twitch FPS, you can with and do (sometimes)with Elderscrolls games.
I've been fooling around with Spring, and I'm very impressed. You can make this a top-down RPG by removing some of the RTS elements and allow new zone loading when getting to the edge of the current map.

Re: Best Game engines
there used to be a mod called Morrowind is DOOMed. It was a remake of DOOM 1 inside Morrowind.
Re: Best Game engines
Unfortunately I am afraid that about making a game the real problem are the assets... finding an adapt engine and programming is easier (for me at least).

The single hardest problem with making a game is the creative side. I can't paint worth shit... so I steal/liberate art online. When ready, then commission someone to make assets. You could work out a deal with an artist/3d-dev for a % of the profit.

You know, this is a good point. I am now wondering why there isnt like a site for open source models that can be used, kinda the same way that there are many sites for textures.ezzetabi wrote:Unfortunately I am afraid that about making a game the real problem are the assets... finding an adapt engine and programming is easier (for me at least).

You're welcome.
I remember seeing a site about trying to make the best, free, human model/mesh they could... but I've lost the link. Anyone have it?

Re: Best Game engines
I always wanted to make a Magic Carper like game or a game like Yume Nikki, but in 3d and randomly generated (like LSD)... I am a capable C++ programmer (or at least everyone says so...)... Sigh... (I am a whiner, sorry)
