[Riebezagel]

Dude, you're insane...ly talented.

[djungbremen]

Wow, already the editor is pure art!

[MRlegoman9]

Oh god. That is gorgeous. i mean... WOW!

Multiple programs running in perfect harmony! His editing program is the most amazingly ergonomic thing i have ever seen!, and he even applies Pointlessly beautiful graphics and animations, to his editing programs, and makes it all so amazingly simple, and idiot could do amazing things with these programs, and a genius could build a universe in a day! And what makes it even more amazing is as you edit, say the shape of and- I ran out of characters. D:

[VoxHouseStudio]

I want your tool now.

I want to make love with you.

[VoxHouseStudio]

What the...? This is nuts. How does this only have 4300 views since April?

[Quipster99]

Man... Thats just incredible. This man can revolutionize the way games are made... Wow, I'm literally speechless by this.

Fantastic work.

[gixer912]

this guy is a genius

[ArghGiantMAnics]

Beyond genius.

I'm not sure of anyone else whose made a game and his own tools all by himself.

[calderon0311]

When will these tools be available? They look wonderful! (and that says alot for something that is more work related then game related. :P)

[aarrcchhoonntt]

Pretty impressive tools. Realtime collaboration.

However, there's a catch.

1) The tools he made won't ever have the power of industrial, real-world ones. Maya and Photoshop will beat the crap out of this any day in the world. IF he would manage to connect maya or 3ds max with his server, we'd be talking.

2) The tools don't provide the level of complexity today's games require. Simple and intiutive tools are good for simple and sandbox games.

[Eagle0600]

You seem pretty sure there, archont. Why don't you just wait and see. ;)

[aarrcchhoonntt]

I'm not saying the game will suck - it might well be a very fun to play game. Today's big studios forget to put the fun in games, instead creating beautiful worlds full of crap and stupid cool shit, as per Bethesda. That's all because you can't show gameplay on screenshots, just the graphics. However while the author might make the game fun and with great gameplay, it won't be able, regardless of effort, to do the visual complexity of, say, Stalker.

[Eagle0600]

It's not trying for visual complexity. It's going for optimised speed, and simple geometry. Much of the visual beauty won't come from geometric complexity.

[A0Refrigerator]

grafix = everyfing about da gayme

[H1GhL0Rd]

@A0Refrigerator First of all, please, please learn to write properly.

No, the graphics in this game is just a proof showing that post processing effects will create truly unique experiences, unlike the "as real as possible" stance most game developers seems to be having.

And to prove my point why graphics isn't all about this game - look at some of the real gameplay. It's a casual game though, so don't expect amazing raids and PvP.

..can't believe I'm trying to bring common sense to this site.

[A0Refrigerator]

Your inability to detect sarcasm that obvious scares me.

[H1GhL0Rd]

Alright, I'll accept I got pretty owned there. To my defense though, the comments here aren't known to be very... what's the word for it? Intelligent? smart? While that was sarcasm, there are things said here which are far worse, but which isn't at all.

Well played though, and I'll admit again that I walked right into it.

[TheSleazySaint]

@H1GhL0Rd It seems like it would be more of a hardcore game actually.

More hardcore than WOW or counterstrike.

I mean this is ARMA 2 hardcore. There's so much complexity it will definitely turn a casual gamer off.

[Anonymous881326]

There are already plugins in development that allow GIMP and 3DSMAX to connect to Verse.

[ArghGiantMAnics]

I'd say the only real problem would be his UI. His 'UI-less' UI approach is unique but challenging and hard to get used to. However I can see people taking advantage of how all his tools work together in real time. That's a huge benefit.

[aarrcchhoonntt]

I can see another. His tools don't have the power of industrial ones. Look at the love demo - it looks like crap! Sure, there's a lot of bloom and post-processing, but it still looks bad.

The server isn't his invention, by the way, just the modelling tools. And there are plugins in design for maya and other tools. This just may improve workflow, but who knows.

[ArghGiantMAnics]

The look of the demo and the whole game is, I think, just a particular style. Some will like it, and others will hate it. No different then the 'realism' of CoDMW2, and the cartoony look of Borderlands.

I remember XSI had built in server tools too. One allows for integration with a game engine for real time editing.

[Apeiron242]

This is breath taking for me. Wow.

[therealsquaseghost]

if these were for sale I have a feeling that he would be making lots of money...

LOL at the amount of puns for a game called "Love"

[sammyF70]

omg ... the tools are actually even more impressive than the game!

[nholmes]

Release date? :P

[RandomAtk]

He's swedish?

[DarkDreamer444]

Hopefully this wont be a let down ;)

[Smurfster1]

I don't want to see a video of you making Love!

[chronozphere]

Oh man.. speaking of tool chains. :P

[Tashi0106]

pretty cool that they're open source

[oxiigen]

Dang, I'm speechless... That's really outstanding artwork!!

[vectorlost]

Did he create this 3d tool????

[GiantPoopingMonkey]

Yes he did

[KillerLettuce]

I want to play this game so bad.

[ManAliive]

I know very little about programming and game design, but this guy is incredible. Such a clear description of the engine. I'm really looking forward to following his work.

[Micfri]

That looks pretty sick, where do you get it?

[chazgcg]

I don't know much, but it's clear that this guy does.

[ArchKnight47]

Are you guys planning on putting these on iTunes?

Also I'd like to point out a minor typo in the title: Ekil instead of Eskil.

[ZgreenZ1]

Great vid, and congrats on getting partner!

[dragonn2]

[ITSaTRAP47]

[PullusPardus]

"so now im going to be showing some of the tools im using for making love ..."

XD didlos

[Happyanand69]

Hahaha XP

[lavalevel]

Man this guy sure is a genius.

I love that when he is designing tools he has both the artist and programmer mindsets.

Someone throw LOTS of money at him.

[rubbermuck]

Now I'm gonna be showing you some of the tools I've been using for making love.

[BrainSpecialist]

Can you use them them with just one hand?

[dmrk42]

@rubbermuck giggidy

[craftyrobot]

That is one cleve dude.

[justomjustom]

So interesting. :P
