My game engine

I don't know much about XE2, will that be cross-platform?

yes, with xe2 you can target pc, 64bit, macosx and iOS (ipad etc). Firemonkey is a new vcl that uses directx or opengl depending on the platform. Firemonkey also seems to allow access at a more basic level so it should be easy enough to create a engine that will work on a number of platforms. That opens up some exciting possibilities.

I hope it will be free...

What will be free? Delphi XE2 - the starter edition will be available from day on for $100 (I believe). And from what I understood cross platform will be in the starter version.

Yes my friend this is true but...
I start really like the compination of Free Pascal and Lazarus and i like to see it action with the engine...
Plus don't forget...
To many projects out there is really a refreash of old projects and old ideas so anything free is good for the community...
And if you like delphi XE2 so many (without testing and working with it), maybe you take parts of this free engine and use it yourself....

Free always is a good choice...

sorry misunderstood - there was no context to your reply so I thought it was direct reply to my post. BUt I agree, I doubt I would pay for a delphi based game engine - it would have to be something very special in a market with many alternatives available.

LOL, I'm one of the other reason people simply because it hit the mobile platforms and looked a masterpiece too... And I've been meaning to get into mobile development a while now and the code behind the 3d on those devices is very much of interest to me. However, I only support open source so if putting in some extra help to get it over to Android (my target platform in the first instance anyway) is what it takes to get it open sourced I'd have to be honest and say count me in that boat.
