Quoting: GuestI had a chance to play this at the 2013 Tokyo Game Show, and it was a lot of fun! I asked about Linux support, and at the time the developers were not sure about it because of the Engine they were using. I'm happy to see that they made it happen, and I preordered already.
This is good news. I guess it means that game engine was ported? Do you know which engine it is?

I'm not saying there isn't a bad side, but I guess the good side to this is that it will give more users to Godot and Leadwerks. I'm particularly interestested in Godot. It's Github contributions are coming from all over the place.

$ git shortlog -sn | wc -l

The first two are Okam but I think the others are independent of Okam.

Quoting: xuwangMy fault for the off-topic. Last question -- what forums do you mean? Do you mean GOL or does Godot have a forum somewhere? Googling "Forum Godot" didn't turn up much.

Good luck with your project. I bet your buddy will be surprised if you finish it.

Thanks ;)

Quoting: xuwangHow is Godot coming along? How "beta" is it? I follow it on Github and I see a lot of activity. It's quite exciting to see!
It's pretty great, in my opinion.

But anyhow, this is really off-topic, and I realize that is my fault. Check out the forums if you wanna see what people are up to (seems to be more active than their FB or my reddit sub).
Thanks for the interesting write-up.

Quoting: adolsonHonestly, there are far better, more flexible, more powerful options out there for game dev, ranging from free and open-source (such as Godot Engine, which is what I'm working with at the moment) to the upcoming LeadWerks, not to mention other engines that are already out there or on the horizon. True, this is targeting the Visual Basic crowd even more aggressively than the alternatives, but running into the limitations of a closed-source, point-and-click, newbie-friendly kit such as this will almost certainly lead to compromises in game design - and you're paying for it, to boot.
