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

Today just a small news about our own game. We of cause not lay back after we won the casual game contest. With the positive power of this success, we worked hard on the completion of the snowlevels for the game. Here is a mini screenshot for you, to get a feeling.

The snowlevel are pretty funny, because you can slide on ice, push snowman around or take a slayride just to name a few possibilities. But you also have to watch out for evil snowman, seals, penguins wich you must avoid in order to finish a level. Now its not taking long till the next and last theme for the casual game is finished. Be patient - its worth it!

No? Hurry up then! You might miss something. You will find other developers there who talk about interesting things outside of the Conitec Forum.

Maybe you have a Problem with a script, or you can not finish a Skin for some Models. Or do you just want to read what others write and learn how the solve problems in their games? Sometimes you will even see screenshots earlier than they will be posted in the forums or hear news from first hand.

The only thing you need is an IRC Client, this is a program, that connects to a network where the channel is. Then you can join the channel #3DGS in the network “quakenet” and talk to the other developers.

It is important that you know, that not all inside the channel look at it all the time. Most of us just keep the irc client running in the background and look at it from time to time. Then sometime when someone writes something he might get an answer later. So please dont leave if no one responds to you instantly .- its not meant personal. Just be patient and you will benefit from staying there.

You can find Tutorials how to join the chanel #3DGS in the network “quakenet” here, here or also here. Have fun and i hope to see you there too!

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!

Begee wrote a nice Benchmark/Statistics tool and told us about in his corresponding thread.
With the tool, wich can be integrated in an existing 3DGS Project very easy, you can monitor the fps better and change relevant options at runtime to improve your performance.

You can download it here, dont forget to post suggestions for beegee and say thanks if you use the tool in his thread.
