well myself I enjoy the descussion myself. though i probably don't have a idea of any game to script its good to know that for a fee of betwene the cost of a desk fan to a cost of a tower case I can get a good language. ok so here its 600 us for pro so a grand here and about 130 for the lite version should I want to bother with tht aprox for what its worth if its the same high quality thing that made q9 its good philip has given us access to this high quality engine. gma has an engine but although it sounds good its still vb6 being updated and no price. and bgt will be competition for genisus 3d which is good. Audio game maker was a piece of crap but then without that piece of crap I wander how much people would care about getting one of those tools true enspiredcode released in beta an adventure game engine but I never saw anything made with it. so we have come a long way. This may even be a way we could get at sighted games, all that would be needed would be updated languages in the script for graphics, etc. and it probably would work. Its probably not as easy as that but if we can have something already designed or at least compattible with some things then hammm that could potentually work. in theory anyway.
