Hi all,
Its great too have this little forum, thanks Norm and Caligari. I dont have anything to post just now,so I thought I'd post a couple of links to modest priced game creation software.
3DRAD 6.xx Minimal coding but scripting available for advanced users.
http://www.3drad.com/
GameCore Currently in Beta supplied with some great tools scripting required
http://www2.gamecore.ca/content/gamecore/overview
FPSC A modest priced first person shooter creator theres even a FREE version.
http://www.fpscreator.com/
DBPRO Not so much a game engine but a game orientated game language in B.A.S.I.C
http://darkbasic.thegamecreators.com/
XNA Knowledge of C++ required price FREE
http://creators.xna.com
BlitzBasic Competitor to DBPRO
http://www.blitzbasic.com/
Shiva http://www.stonetrip.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=13&Itemid=28
I have posted these links as possible solutions for gamers it does not mean that I know all about them or how to use models from TS76 with them, that will take a little ingenuity by
prospective users.I currently have licenses and very little time (unfortunately) for:-
3DRAD 6.xx
GameCore
FPSC
DBPRO
BTW there are probably many more solutions out there,this is by no means a complete list. :)

Just a note on XNA - C++ knowledge is not required, because the available tools are in fact based around C# :) |

The link should be http://creators.xna.com that's the site for the XNA Game Studio product. Which is a C# library (not a C++ one).
DXStudio (http://www.dxstudio.com/)
RealmCrafter (http://www.realmcrafter.com/store/home.php)
Torque Game Engine (http://www.garagegames.com/) |

I use 3dgs, we also should mention "crystal space", which is better suited for games (out of the box so to speak) than ogre. |

I licensed some weeks ago the S2engine. At the moment i'm in the conversation with the developers to integrate Truespace collada files, also skinned meshes. I like this engine because i don't want C/C++ and this engine has awesome DX9 lightning and material features and an easy to use editor.

The Nebula Device (http://www.nebuladevice.org/)
Should add this to the list, they about to come out with 3.0 adding in a lot of new features. 2.0 uses the full functionality of DX9 and OpenGL 2.0.
Oh yeah, and the games developed can run on Windows, Linux and XBox. |

You should now also look at www.awingsoft.com . They developers seems to be interested in Truespace and developed a first TS Collada import plugin. To be honest i get very quickly walktrough results with this software.
Update: a engine for all user who dont want C/C++/C# programming and uses only scripts if you want. The integrated LUA is well implemented for things which are not clickable. |
