Hi, all GE freaks,
Game editor is also good in making look things 3d like, if you have good animations and frames.

Use this topic to discuss about 3d stuff, exchange 3d sprites and much more.
3d is often talked about and I think you could also post your feature requests about 3d in this topic.

I'm starting with the following, serious question:
How does the future of GE look if you think of 3d?
Did it cross makslanes mind earlier to make a 3d game editor out of GE?
Cause if he wants to there are actually some ideas out there to help make GE some 3d software easy to use and not get all mixed up with camera settings, angles, and other suck stuff.
Here's one idea:

Know what I mean, I have for example the expensive 3d game studio on my PC, on the package it says: supports also 2d games. what did I discover? It's even hard enough to add some normal 2d sprites!!!

now, if I wrote nonsense don't be angry, cause this is only an idea

A very good idea though! I want to make 3d games too, and I can only find really expensive stuff. I'm gonna vote 3d.

i vote yes

Hmm... Im not sure what to vote. I seriously doubt that Game Editor could go 3d and still be simple enough for the average amature to use (like me). But it would be cool...

now, I know that 3d programming is VERY complicated, but I would just be pleased for the start if u could make only 3d games out of 2d sprites. Check out this screenshot. The game's Sonic Robo Blast 2!!!
Now, it's a very COOL game, but actually made completely out of 2d sprites!

I think that Makslane already has way too much to do. I feel bad for the guy, the game-editor project is a mountain. He's already stressed out and overworked.

To make Game Editor be able to make 3D games will take a whole rewrite, it will take a very long time plus since Game Editor is a multi-platform tool it will be incredibly hard to make the 3D work properly on all platforms.

There are many free and commercial 3D game makers and 3D engines out there.

Go have a look here: http://www.devmaster.net/engines/

Game Editor does its job well as multi-platform 2D development kit. There are way too many 3D alternatives to choose from if you want to go that route.

So nice idea, but not worth implementing.

I've actually no idea how hard it would be and I guess you're right.
At first I thought you had to add just another direction, like "z" and PAFF there you go!
well... tha' was silly

In fact, 3D cooler than 2D...but also harder...
1. You have to establish your actor position in 3 axis...
2. Make very wide of background in 3 axis...
3. Make sprites in 3 axis...
4. Make animations in 3 axis...
5. Make moving object in 3 axis...
6. Make combination of keydown event in 3 axis...
7. etc in 3 axis...
In the short word, it'll be fun...

And I think it could make GE's rating grow up...and make GE as the best seller...
(because it's simple code, function, and 3D support)
So, we could make more "SALEABLE" game with GE

it does not matter ealy... i mean i would love it!!! but im used to the regular verson and all that work would be hard on maxslane

The one thing I love about GE is its simplicity, the code, the event- and actionbased programming.
you start with the easy stuff and grow more and more into the advanced.
In the other programs everything comes at once and u don't know where to begin.
Makslane did already GREAT work on GE.
My dream program would be a 3d designer with the same structure as GE.
A program where u can't change the camera settings to the worst and get lost. Where u can't as easily get mixed up with angles, axis, models and stuff.
Dunno, maybe a 3d grid?

anyway.

not to put anyone under pressure...
it would be a marvelous progress in GE if makslane just did something like we suggested in "draw from, change scale and rotate"

I know, too many feature requests at a time

And you're the one who most want!!!

You could say that...
I REALLY NEED IT FOR MY SONIC MAFIA GAME !!!
