thanks for the nice words on this site..one thing I wanted to point out is how well Away3d performed..there was just 3 weeks to make the whole system and just me and one designer..and I did not run into any brain drain moments with Away3d at all. I'm adding two more rooms to it now for staggered release..this site uses very very high quality textures..so if you have the flexibility to use lesser quality textures you could probably do way more first person things.
