Ok, I finally gave in and purchased RTS this means I now have all four, TGE, TSE T2D & RTS.
Must say I'm impressed with all of them. The potential is astounding.
Figured I'ld start a discussion thread, just for owners of all 4 products, to find out the reasons behind the purchases. And to sound off about what you like so far in each product.
I originally purchased TGE because I wanted to make a game, after having purchased 3DGS I was disappointed with how little that engine could be modified, I realized that for any serious game having the source code and crossplatform compatibility were a must. I looked at all the options at the time, including Nevrax, Crystal Space, even UnReal, but the community here is what sealed the deal.
TSE was a no brainer, it promises to be the most revolutionary game engine of our time, it has features that aren't even included in other commercial grade engines at any price. The promise of a crossplatform compatible engine, utilizing the pure awesomeness of shaders in a package that costs less than a weeks worth of fast food.
T2D took a while for me to purchase, I just couldn't see the value proposition. Then I landed a contract where the client wanted an in house 2 dimensional networked application, that could handle multiple concurrent users, and wasn't yet another buggy java app.
I looked around, and then remembered T2D, it totally fits the bill!
RTS, I already owned all the other engines, and for my next project I wanted an engine that could allow for things like mutiple characters controlled by a single player, ala D&D style RPGs. I wanted selection boxes, I wanted tracking rings, I wanted about 100 other things. I went over the features list for RTS, it has everything I need to get started, how awesome is that!
Owning all 4 products, has shown me one thing. The community here is awesome, everyone here wants to try and help in any way they can. Thats the best part about GG.
Ok so thats my testimonial,I figure if nothing else, this thread will give GG, some more little snippits to add to the testimonals section.
So testify my brothers and sisters, testify!
