No terrain? Please be kidding. I don't want LE3 to be a mobile engine with desktop tacked on. It should be a desktop engine that can downscale to mobile.

Yeah but don't forget, people use Leadwerks BECAUSE of the high end graphics. Will LE3 have a good terrain system? Will it render models as nicely as LE2? These are also things I consider really important, almost as much as a good art pipeline and game interaction framework. Your vegetation system is the best I have seen for indies. Will LE have that? I picked LE mostly on the terrain system, and lighting, and would be quite sad if we lost that, however a better art pipeline and game interaction framework would make me really happy. As long as you are not making LE3 a mobile engine with Desktop tacked on like Shiva and Unity, I think many of us will consider it money well spent.

So PC's will have mobile level graphics? We are not getting the dynamic day-night system, the OpenGL 5 tessellation, post processing effects, scalability across all platforms, just mobile graphics? I guess that's ok, we can develop our games and then add on the advanced graphics later. Better wait three months, get LE3, design a game for 3 months and get high end graphics then wait 6 months for LE3 to come out with the high end graphics. But still, this is a little disappointing.

If we get a beta. Did LE2 come out with a beta?

So as a source owner you get early access? Or is Josh releasing a beta soon? Or are you just preparing for a beta release?

When its ready Josh has been hinting this summer though.

Nice. You will need to write up some really good docs for this however, because powerful it is, simple it's not.

But Grome = $$$$$$$$$$ right?

I'm right next to Pancakes. On the floor. Begging.

Right, because deferred renderer handles transparency differently...

The fact that you can afford 3D-Coat makes you more pro then me and therefore I cannot help. Actually I can't, never done any baking in blender.

Funny. I thought you played chess in a Linux server console... Naw I'm joking, you're a cool guy Vossen. I don't understand how you thought that game design was "uncool" though. We all play games nowadays, on phones, computers, TV's. It's something that the younger generation all have in common. We all play games. For instance, whenever I tell a girl that I develop games, she gives me her number and asks me out. True story. I guess some of us got it and some don't. But in all seriousness, I think you should go all in and talk about how you are working on a really advanced game engine next to the legend, Josh. Talk about all the cool games you have done, but don't overdo it, girls don't like it when you talk to much, or brag. I'm sure you love getting tips from a game development forum from some teenager. You don't get this good advice very often

yeah that could be really useful

-1 give lua sudo!

Portal was a fun game

Battlefield has real projectiles for all the bullets...

Actually Flex, really good ideas.

Everyone kinda picked what I picked, some minor differences but I am really happy. Good results.

You mean I should cancel the bank account in the Cayman Islands where the code was going to be kept?!

same

Exactly, the scripts for shooting a gun are really simple.

let Aggror do it, he is the project lead right?

I still think it should be a point a to b shooter.

Sure, good idea. We don't have to do just ONE game. So are you gonna create a thread and a google doc?

I think something like that is doable but maybe zombie game is easier?
