Re: DXGame 2D Engine For VB6 Released! Brykovian (0 replies, 977 views) (2004-Feb-20) I also think you're being a bit harsh, sdw. You are right that most VB game programmers are into building their own game engines ... but then most VB game programmers (or any type of hobbyist game programmers) sadly don't actually finish their games either. Also, the game engine is most definitely *not* "the game" ... however it is a required part of getting a playable game done. As someone who would rather spend time on design than programming, I appreciate efforts like dxgame is doing here ... and like what Peter did with his BioHazard (and maybe someday Alloy) engines ... and even what the folks behind BlitzBASIC and DarkBASIC, et al, are up to. Nice work dxgame -- carry on. However, would I pay $40 for it when I can get Blitz for less? Doubtful. (And follow Spodi's advice on your website -- simpler background; cleaner, tighter, easier-on-the-eyes design.) |
