Thought everyone here might like to know that there is a new game engine out there designed for both inexperienced and experienced developers. The DimensionDoor engine is unique in that it combines Java for scripting (much easier than pure C++ coding), Eberly''s state of the art rendering engine, and a managed P2P server network (sort of like kazaa) that enables you to publish a popular game _without_ a server farm! Give it a try and see what you can do. Maybe you don''t need to spend those tens of thousands of hours writing your own network/render/sound/scripting engine you thought you did. Maybe you can write your kick-ass game instead! You can check it out here: http://dimensiondoor.net/ Scripting examples are here: http://dimensiondoor.net/howto/script/ Download and try it here: http://dimensiondoor.net/downloads/ .. Regards, z. da

Also- we are developing a MMOG as a test for the dD engine.

"ZauberWorld" is to feature lots of programmer art :-) and scripting examples. Hopefully it will give our users a guide to creating their own worlds.

If you are interested in contributing.. art (to replace our lovely programmer art), scripting, sound, etc, send us a message...

ZauberWorld''s current state can be seen be downloading the Client and going to the 3rd portal on the top of the ramp.

Or you can look at the screen shots at the bottom of:
