GM 3D level editer

Posted by mesenberg on Jan. 18, 2007, 10:02 a.m.

Yes im not asking for one, im making one…

The real question you want to know is, am I going to release it for everyone else to use or will I just selfishly use it to make my own super games and not share?

and the second real question is if it is any good?

Well I assure you that it will be a HUGE step up from creating your individual blocks and such in gm and placing it into levels, and heres why….

I used to make 32-32blocks and make them into 3D to make my levels with, but that slows down the computer too far too soon, why? Because there are sooo many objects, so I said, "If I could just get a way to make my walls long with one object or have an editer like HL hammer editer (or cartography shop) then that would be awsome", so I made one. Or am making. It should make creating levels with multiple z levels easier by a long shot, it will have the ability to import textures and you can preview your level (already done ^_^) and will be able to modify the fine details of your level from within the 3D mode.

Im calling it the GrimEditer to go along with my engine that I will create called GrimEngine, then ill make a game called GrimLife… [:)]

So tell me if you think I should give it out along with my engine when its done… Or should I selfishly hord the work to myself…

You should release it for everyone… You could get feedback and imporve and improve it till it's really good and then use it yourself…

If you used that and add them together you could get it really good.

Release it for non-commercial use, but make anyone who wants to use it commerically in their games pay a licenses fee. [GRIN]

I guarantee you that most of the people who use your creation will never finish a 3D game. So, yeah, release it. [:)]
