3D Gamestudio Gamedevelopment 3DGS A6 A7 - free engine tutorials models shaders textures codes

According to this (german) Amazon Link A7 will be available at the end of may, on the 31.May 2007 - at least the extra version for a price of 15,95 € .

From Conitec there is no official statement on the release date, so you have to take the date from Amazon with caution. I also think, that the price is pretty low for my mind. The only thing you can take for granted is that the release is probably not far away anymore - as the prerelease version for users who bought A6 recently is already available, without the Tools WED and MED.

Congratulations to Angelas World from Sven for the second place at the Casual Game Contest. I’m proud, that my game “Utz Wollewutz” could finish with the first place in a field of 30 participants

Also to note here are the games, Memowar from Torsten Fock and 4 Little Warriors from Firoball. If you havent seen them all, i can only recommend you the Link to all of them again.

Many thanks to all who sent in an entry and all who took the time to play and vote. See ya at the next one!

Hi, there sorry for the little easter delay, i hope you had nice holidays as well!

Its really worth the time. Because i participate too with my entry Utz Wollewutz i wont go into detail or tell you good/bad things about other entries - you have to find out for yourself. May the best one win and have a lot of fun!

As Damocles suggested here i have opend a little Thread in the Game Business Forum that deals with the topic of publishing.

The goal is that the communtiy discusses some points and in the end we can sum this up and transform it into a tutorial for everyone who wants to publish a game or 3dgs project. The following points should be discussed…

#1 how to make advertisements for your project. how much to invest for that. where to put the ads?

#2 payment systems. wich are the best for customers. wich work with 3dgs, wich 3dgs version do you need for that.

#3 where can you upload your demo to. wich casual game portal is best suited.

#4 what legal issues do you have to take care of including licenses, taxes, laws and so on.

Those are the main issues to make clear for all, so that people who never ever jumped into the cold water of publishing a game wont have to make any bad experiences. But for this to work the thread relies on the help of those who already have successfully (more or less) finished and published a game.

Ichiro from Dejobann Games the maker of Galaxy Rage has said for example, that a very, very good “Press Release” is the most important thing. He also supplied a Link to that topic - thanks for that. I really hope that this thread will grow and we end up with a good tutorial. Thanks.
