RTS engine video Looks really good for three weeks. What middleware (if any) are you using?

Interview with Steve Streeting, Project Lead of OGRE 3D Even if it is costly, you'll still be able to use the lgpl license for commercial games. The license is only for specialized support and the platform managers for other platforms such as the major consoles.

Plane Shooter In a fit of randomness, we decided to make the bullets snakes, who knows what the situation is like with all those snakes on that plane. The three artists were mainly looking to find some art to throw in quick since we only had 5 hours t...
