Just FYI... Even CryTek is Trying to overcome the 'This engine is FPS only' issue

Just a quick note to say that even large companies like CryTek are struggling with similar issues T3D is. They cancelled a project similar to 'The Last of Us' Back in 2012. Here is a short video showing what was finished;

.
From what I can gather, they cancelled it for three reasons, the last of which was made public;

1. Too similar (visually) to Alan Wake. (I personally don't see that)

2. Too similar to a FPS version of 'The Last of Us'.

3. They wanted to do something 'NOT FPS'. To show off that the engine is capable of more than per-conceived notions. AKA (CryEngine is only a FPS engine).

So, we can take a bit of pride from this, once again, we face similar issues to a leader in the industry.

    As a newbie I agree with Edward on a community buyout would work out well for templates etc to become standard in T3D MIT.

    I am happy to put towards this scheme but i'm also happy to put money towards individual devs for packs and kits as well.

    I think the community buyout is a great idea cause it helps T3D become more popular and should help drive asset sales for the users here.

    For example I've purchased quite a few kits and art assets and it's all been from users from this forums to support them and the T3D community and i'm still learning to script and add gameplay elements to my demo's but if i had a base like a template then it would allow me to have a somewhat more playable demo and I could just change the art as needed and then add in the gameplay elements cause the core items i need are there
