Also: The blender interface will be a real problem for some people.

what do you mean? I'm not a professional tester.

Since Riley generously sacrificed his post in the thread start I've now been able to split the first post into list and evaluation/conclusion parts. This has freed up space for a somewhat improved formatting and to include new solutions (coming). I'd like moi to test DXStudio...
I've been using it and think its worth a mention.
[pb]rotip: If you have tested it you could assemble information in style with that already in the list and perhaps we can include it.  Please be as objective as possible about it and include drawbacks as well as advantages. |

NameDXStudioLicence/PriceFree for commercial Use Supported PlatformsWindows/Web (via plugin) Scope, Intent and useageComplete game solution. Use in simulation scenarios. ProsBig library of resources for developers Very complete guide Straightforward interface. Includes Physx and bullet physics engines. ConsCommunity seems rather quiet in the forums. Navigating in the gizmo can be hard. Windows only to develop and export. EvaluationIt is a great engine that can be used to prototype a game in minutes with a minimum amount of coding. Has decent import options for the major formats. The complete guide online is a major helper. EDIT: Sorry Mikademus, I was unable to replicate your formatting.

If you're new to game development and design, I would either go with Game Maker or Stencylworks. Currently, Stencylworks is a lot like Game Maker, but for Mac, and is more capable in terms of the visual programming language.
If you're a coder, I would recommend FlashPunk, as it's Flash, which means that it's very cross-platform compatible, and it's a nice game framework.

Hi guys
I was wondering if any of you have experience with modifying any of the open sourced quake engines, and if you would recommend it for a hitscan weapon based multiplayer shooter
also, udk and source sdk - which of these do you consider better?

I have some experience with unity, but I wrote it off for this as I've never used the networking components - are they easy to work with? does it allow client/server kind of setups? Networking is the main reason i decided to try one of these instead |

I haven't dealt with unity's networking stuff personally, so can't comment.

Note if it wasn't clear-- Stencylworks is mac or windows. |

I was wondering if any of you have experience with modifying any of the open sourced quake engines, and if you would recommend it for a hitscan weapon based multiplayer shooter Why not. Take a look at Warsow or Urban Terror. Warsow is based on QFusion (based on Q2) and UrT is based on ioquake3. But you have to have in mind, that there isn't that much documentation as with engines like OGRE, Irrlicht, UDK, Unity etc. |

I'm one of the creators of PixieEngine.com. It's a browser based IDE for creating HTML5 games. I hope it's good enough for general use, but if there are any problems or feedback let me know. |

Construct 2, by the same people as Construct Classic, has come into its own with some powerful features that I think warrant it's inclusion on this list.

Isn't the list in this thread gears toward 3D rather than 2D? My understanding is that Construct2 and PixieEngine are mainly for 2d games. You might want to post about them in this thread instead : http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=49.0 |

It has been suggested that if there are enough 2D frameworks and complete engine solutions to warrant it, a sister list to this one could be made.
As it is right now there is admittedly a 3D bias to this list in the sense that most large or complete game engine solutions support or are exclusively for 3D, but there are 2D engines in the list and there is no prejudice against them.

I am currently using Torque 2D, and one thing people should keep in mind is that you never HAVE to buy kits/extensions for regular development if you're willing to do some scripting. The genre kits are essentially there so that you can just plug in your own assets and tweak some variables and have the basics needed to start building levels and have a game. I paid the $99 and have not run into any roadblocks that require me to pay more money. For most issues, their community and documentation have been very helpful. There is never a point where you try to do something in the editor and you get a pop-up telling you you need to pay more money to do that.

 BEWARE : After having read this thread, few days ago I installed the last stable version of Panda3D on Wind 7 64bits. I discovered today that it removed all previous entries in my Path environnement variable.  The bug have been reported and filed for some time but not fixed yet. The problem is that not everyone gets it. So if your read this thread, you might want to save your path infos somewhere before installing Panda3D. If someone is interested, this bug has been fixed. |
