Rage 3D

[WILL]

Well I guess the cat is out of the bag now, so I can finally talk about it. I admit, I knew about the Rage 3D engine produced under Emperion Empire for a long time now, however I was sworn to secrecy so I couldn't tell a soul. :shhh:

But since the company went C++ only and one of it's main partners, Maarten Kronberger (aka McClaw) resigned and took the project with him to release as an open source project I can see no reason to hold my toung anymore. Mind you I was given some permission in my recent article to post screenshots for it.

The Rage 3D game engine is really an entire suite of 5 seperate engines built into one standard set of dll's and focuses on providing an easy development platform. Much of it remains incompleted, but as luck would have it, it is now open source and available to you the avid game developer for improvement, completion and/or updates and later bugfixes.

Rage 3D Engines:
<ul>[*]RageGL - Graphics Engine, and scene manager, based on OpenGL supporting the latest OpenGL 2.0 specifications[*]RagePhysics - Physics Engine expanding on newton dynamics dll[*]RageAI - As yet undefined Artificial intelligence engine.[*]RageAL - Sound engine, and audio library (Still under heavy design and development)[*]RageNT - Network engine[/list]

This looks like a nice engine, I can't wait to get my hands on teh source code

[WILL]

Indeed, I've heard it's pretty fast too.

[tux]

still has a lot of work needed to it *quickly cleans up my source code before maarten releases it*

[McCLaw]

Just applied for the source forge project, now we just wait for the approval, and then the code wil "flow"

[JernejL]

So that meany you are now unemployed but yet still giving out source code for free? cool

[McCLaw]

I also have another job that pays for food and that kinda stuff (as a web developer), so I'm not without meens

I never really made any money out of the game engine in any case, since the engine isnt finished.

It was profit share. no profit meens no share. LOL

[WILL]

Well you're not going to make any money off it now.

Unless you decide to make a game with the completed opensource verson of the engine.

I personally would like to see Pascal make it to the commercial market more than it has. At this point there really is no excuse. FPC and/or Delphi are fully capable of doing the job.

Hi I am new on this forum, spoke to McClaw a day ago and I am looking forward to the Rage engine as well.

Go Delphi! Go bokke! Castel Lager - Laat hy val waar hy wil!

Does the Afrikaans that mean "Let him fall where he wants"?
