I would be very careful before jumping into bed with investors unless you KNOW FOR A FACT that you have the EXACT same long term vision in mind. I know that Blade3d, now defunct, and another project I won't name out of respect for what they are doing allowed investment capitol in order to grow the size of their operations and in the short term it was great but a little down the line and it started to hurt them. Blade3d was bought out and then cannibalized by investors. It was one of the best editors out there but the investors just didn't care they said, "Where is the bottom line, TODAY" they didn't like it and they just screwed the founders and did whatever they wanted with the software which was in that particular case, was to bury it. Then the other project got a lot of investment capital which grew their project a lot in the begginning. The investors wanted big picture features, while their customer base wanted the same features but they wanted to the little ones first. Anyway because they are bound to contracts with their big investors they have to priorize what they want. Which means they have, big and difficult to implement features that they have to put in first, while the smaller ones have to wait. As a result you have a strange development process that equals them having lots and lots of delays. That's my take on it, even though not being in the company myself I couldn't speak with 100 percent authority. Anyway, I think one of the coolest things about Leadwerks is the fact that the development team is so small and nimble. You guys are very flexible to do whatever you want even it if means to buck popular conceptions in favor of 'risky' innovation. You guys are sort of like Blender , which I mean as a compliment, and the sculpting program 'Sculptris'. Sculptris avoids handling sculpting the way that Zbrush does, is much much smaller, has a much smaller dev team, and yet somehow it mangages to have all the features that actually matter and it does what it does exceptionally well. Investors don't always understand how to be or how to make a Sculptris or a blender or a Leadwerks but guys like Josh do. So, my only advise is to make sure your investors share the exact exact exact same vision as you do whereever it is that sharing the same vision counts the most. I'm of the belief that game engines are works of art. And goodness knows that money doesn't always respect art the way that it probably should. Go LE

looks great, more than great btw when i was like 7 years old there was this game called Tiger Heli it was pretty cool. It was about helicopter combat

this is good stuff right here

yes it works now thank you very much

Hello, I bought the upgrade last night, I received the email and my status on the site has been updated, but my registration key doesn't work for whisper or josh's sdk updaters? Am I doing something wrong? I am running as administrator. Josh's updater says "Invalid Password" even though I copy and pasted my registration key that works on previous versions. Whisper's updater says "401 Unauthorized" then it crashes.

I just made my paypal payment. So hopefully i'll receive a dl link within 24 hours. I have a little bit of javascript and python experience. I'll see whether I am able to contribute some thingoids of my own after studying yours of course. This could be a great way for me to learn about Lua.

that "sounds" amazing , as soon as josh replies to pm and then accepts paypal i'll give it a try er you'll have to release it first i think though

I think it's going to be badass

yeah i upgraded from a 8800gt and to be honest there isn't that big of a difference between 8800gt and the one i have now that's in my sig i forget what it's called the biggest difference was getting a new processor from by old q6600 to what i have now because it relieved a bottleneck so 9800gtx is a good value, the rest of the cards are a waste of money relativly speaking

I think that's really cool. It seems fun to me. I like the immersion of checking inventory in real time. Made me smile when you said that.

hehe looks great to me too! hopefully some day I can do something useful for the community

I support this. I see this is in C++ forum but you say it can work with Lua too so

Oh plz yes I love it thank you! Plz! I have to say that pivot system by itself is brilliant. As far as the objects being linked to the inventory, I think that if a system like this was officially adopted by LE then it might be helpful to have a filter or layer system for viewing all links. This is really good! It's great! I'll be taking a very close look at actually using this as soon as I get my purchase through for 2.3 which will be this coming week. This is really great for me I appreciate it a lot.

here's my take on it: the cardboard box is not air tight and even if it were airtight you'd still have to account for the fact that here on earth all objects are submerged inside of a gigantic sea of air, and therefore a sort of gaseous buoyancy becomes a factor particularly when you are speaking of gas molecules such as helium or just normal air trapped inside of an airtight cardboard box. And the box that has more air inside is going to become more buoyant. Therefore it actually has forces which are acting against the "pull straight down effect" of gravity, it's not that gravity is acting on the box any less than the one that is filled with stones, it's just gravity is behaving differently because the composition of the two object/mixtures is different. am i completely off base here

you mean you're going to include it in the SDK/Editor? That would be very awesome.

I think his vertex colors are for AO only, the textures will give the rooms different diffuse colors. I like to jump into others' conversations

Where is this disrepect coming from???

I need Lua. And at the same time I would like to see Leadwerks water and sky to receive some love. Also being a Crysis nut.

Vertex colors eh? I didn't know that. I wonder if they will export properly from blender? Also if nothing else works... you could just give the roots of the grass a different material, though I don't think that's a good way of doing it.

Shocking! I've never heard anyone refer to one of my models as 'wonderful'. But I know how to take a compliment. Thanks! Btw, there aren't any wrong answers here.

I think it would be great to get a version of this presentation as a Benchmark or a demo level or both!

That's a relief. Last time I tried to model a female head everyone thought it was a man.

Hello, I could use some advise. What do you see here? What does it look like it is? Species: Sex: Age: Ethnicity: Demeanor: Also, other than the ears where does the picture look like it's "off" at? I'd appreciate some input

a bit late but this is brilliant, I wonder where did Annika and Mika come up with the notion of social network slash indie community?
