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

Hey there, i especially like the days when a posting in the acknex users magazine forum at the gamestudio board starts with the words:

Dear friends, The new magazine is ready…

That means George has finished another episode of the fantastic users magazine. This time you will find the following in issue #69

- Who is afraid of lite-C? Read the “lite-C 101″ section of the magazine and you’ll learn more about Acknex’s programming language
- The menu code is fully finished and wrapped around a simple and (hopefully) fun game
- The great user contribution comes from Taco Cohen and JCL - it’s the new shader tutorial, packed with fully working shader examples
- IntenseX, the best AI package for GameStudio, is in the spotlight once again. Find out more about it, and then take a look at the screenshots or (even better) watch the fresh, never seen before movie that walks us through some of its most important features

Have fun reading it and drop George a big line of thank you!

George, doesnt seem to rest during the weekend like the rest of us. No! He just released the latest AUM! This time you will for shure find useful things and code for gamedevelopment with 3DGS. For example a workshop about particles and how to set up a particle generator or spawn particles out of models. Then he updated his AI Pathfinding code and made it faster/better. Now tha paths not only look better but the algorithm behind them calculates much faster. In addition you can now place 300 nodes instead of only 100.

You also find an interview with the coder Andreas Hermanspann from Antaris a 3D Shooter he works on with A6 on his own. The usual frequently asked questions from the forums get answered too, so you can grab some hints from a pro. Have fun with it in your garden on a sunny sundayafternoon.

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
