You mention "degree project".Does this mean that you are a student or something and the game's purpose is not to make millions and put ID Software out of the market ? If so I think that java3d and java a very good choice.Java3D is a powerful object oriented API (OGL is procedural).Apart from that you should consider the other advantages of JAVA technology.Java programs tend to be shorter,simpler,and require less debug to get up and running.Of course if you are very skilled and experienced and have some time and money, you could say buy the Q3,Unreal engine and make something good - but it will generally take much more effort.I suggest you look around java.sun.com and see if using JAVA technology will ease your life.

Hey.
I am currently working on a Quake-style first person shooter prototype using Java3D for my degree project, and I am trying to get people's views on this technology. It would be really helpful if anyone could answer the following questions:
1. Would you consider using Java3D for making a first person shooter? Why?
2. If you were considering writing a first person shooter, what technology (language/API) would you use, and why?
Thanks. If anyone is interested, I will tell you what I found.
