Wintermute vs Visionaire Studio
After testing Wintermute (As well as AGS), it was clear that development using the engine was not going to be a smooth ride. The interface felt clunky, unintuitive and sometimes unresponsive.
In an act of desperation I did one final Google search for a suitable engine for our project. Et voila, Visionaire Studio.
Visionaire Studio is an engine by a group of German (Deutch?) developers and has...

WatchA quick demonstration of the current 3D model loading capabilities of Aries Engine (The cross-platform, open-source, 3D game engine I am working on).
I’ll be working on implementing texturing next.
If your curious, the engine loads models in the Collada format (.DAE). Collada is an open, XML based schema for 3D scenes/models. Almost all major 3D modeling applications can now export to this...
Click!
Right about now I wish I had one of those remote controls that Adam Sandler flaunts in his movie “Click”. Fast forwarding to next Thursday, the day my Apple iPhone 4 should arrive, would be pretty sweet!
