The 0.7 techdemo wasn't very impressing though (from a user point of view, since i'm not a coder)

Don't forget .NET language support such as C# and VB.NET.

BTW: This is old news.

Interesting demo, but I think it's too much to compare it to comercial engines. It doesn't even come close. The tech demo AFAIK didn't include half the features mentioned, and there were sparklies in someof the seams and bad z sorting.

unimpressed. Sorry whoever made it

Is graphics the be all and end all for games?

I still play DOS games ffs. I'm finding myself playing older games more and more.

Baldur's Gate, Diablo 2, Warcraft 2. Neither have good graphics.
Hell, even Warcraft 3's graphics for it's time suck hardcore, even for a RTS game. I've seen at least 6x better graphics under some older RTS games.

Um, he mentioned graphical corruption errors. That's worse than just old graphics.

It's also a Techdemo, these are supposed to show off what the engine is capable of. Even running in D3D9 mode this definitely fails to impress at any level.

Cool name, shit engine.

Give it time.
It will get better.

Bugs come and go Chalnoth.
