I've tried others like Unity, DirectX Studio, GameStudio... the list goes on. The bottom line is that programming your own engine is the best way to go.
If the engine is very fast and flexible, chances are you'll have to suffer from no documentation.
Writing your own version of something that "acts" as an engine is way less gay than writing something gay like an engine, or using engines that bring not enough help.
@darkshadowbakugan yes!!!Just search on youtube for videos of the games......there is a user Pr3DatoR15 and he is making a fps game in blender.......there is super Blender (Mario) Galaxy (the galaxy game isn't by Pr3dator15)
IF U GO TO MY CHANNEL THERE IS A VIDEO THAT I ADDED TO MY FAVOURITES BECAUSE I REALLY LIKE IT, ITS A GAME THAT I THINK IS PRETTY GOOD, ESPECIALLY CUS ITS HOME MADE (APPARENTLY), JUST CLICK ON MY ACCOUNT TO VIEW IT, AND I REALLY LIKE THE MUSIC TO IT, I HAD NEVER HEARD IT BEFORE BUT I'M IN LOVE WITH IT NOW...
I wanna see how this runs on my alienware m15x, but I don't wanna download something 100 mbs for an hour on a game that i'll only play once.
Looks amazing, though. Is the lava procedurally generated like how ppl do oceans or is it an actual fluidsim? And how'd they manage the splash? Particles?
hi guys... i have one question... me and my friend r doing an MMORPG like WoW and Aion... we are using this program and Maya to build the the character models and animation... but I have one question... this game engine is strong to make a world like WoW or Aion??? if not what game engine can we use?? thanks alot for the help
@fabry6969 i would suggest you use UDK or possibly Unity 3D instead and you wont be able to create a full scaled MMORPG trust me it requires more then 2 people
@ideasman42 epic game but how did u get the body parts to move and no stiff movement? i want to make a game like no stiff movement. and how did u make it so the flying last only a few seconds?...lol and how did u make the opening screen?
i would so play this looks fun i am just getting started with blender but demo games don't even work on computer i am pretty sure it is the graphics card. stupid macbook graphics.
hey guys my name is cooldude and i am opening a website where you can download games and play them + watch animations so if anyone ahs a video game they made or cartoon short just message me and it will be on the site
i tried to download blender but it says i need phantom and c++ when i try to install them windows installed stops responding and quits. anybody know how to fix this? ive rebooted my comp several times.
when i see pure awesomeness like this i always think dam why can't i do stuff like that.
but then i look at what i've accomplished in the past little while and my age, and i think that maybe by the time im as old as some of these guys or maybe in a few years i could be doing tihs^.^
that happens when your computer can't render the game. Try making everything on low. If that doesn't work then you should replace you grapghic card with a more modern one or buy a new computer.
Wow wow wow! I wasn't under the impression my blender game engine was so damn powerful, this is very impressive congrats and thanks for proving the best things in life are free!
I played it and it has some crazy graphics. My computer was kind of slow for it (2.2 core2duo, 2gb ram, 128 mb nvidia graphics) but thats probably b/c the game isnt optimized for speed. More for showing the ability of using open source software. Maybe Ogre3d was a better choice than crystal space, but then it would require much more work.
Still the game has some really nice textures and some crazy scenary. It looks more than professional.
Why did the evil character have to be the only playable character of the game, so the gameplay is also evil. If anyone doesnt know what I'm talking about then go watch "Big Buck Bunny".
I love Yo frankie but I've never gotten it to work on my linux PC. For some reason the game is convinced I've a joystick pluged in and If I plug one in it thinks there is two (one for each player)
I should go into the .blend and disable joystick control but I'm so damn lazy ;-P
Thanks to all you guys for this great game and for resurrecting the game engine.
