some very kewl news

[kyraneth]

Some VERY cool news. Neo Axis is actually my favorite indie engine but the licensing scheme is is a major turnoff one title per license is really bad (for me at least )

[Noctrine]

Most of the big engines function the same way as how NA does. Just think of it as your first step to expensive engine licensing :p

[kyraneth]

hehe yes, licensing schemes on big engines suck.... especially the six figure part

[Raven67854]

PSh wanna know what sucks more? the 6 figures PLUS the % of royalty's you gotta pay. I hate how big engines like unreal charge close to a million for there engine then turn around and want MORE money for royalty's. Have you guys seen some indie engines? Some of them are really awesome and they sure didn't cost no 1.2 million.

i smell a thread that needs to be made.

[Raven67854]

haha what kind of thread?

[Viper]

full list of "good" game engines that dont cost 1.2 mill.

" Have you guys seen some indie engines? Some of them are really awesome and they sure didn't cost no 1.2 million."

those ones.

[Raven67854]

Well those engines are usually all kept to the company's. As in they don't give them out. Most of them however just use either Ogre3d or Irrlicht.

i remember seeing a few good game engines. they arnt "1 mill" but they were closer to a thousand....
