That is amazing. I’ve seen shots of Fusion Fall, but no hands on

I have to say I’m far more interested to know how well your integration with Smart Fox Server went. There are clients by the hundreds (good, bad and ugly), but the number of MMO-worthy server technologies is about zilch.

Sounds like a pretty neat tool. Now get a game out there for us to test! :)

This is exactly the path I’m planning to take. I heard about Unity right around when they announced the Windows version and instantly got excited by the potential (in browser 3d!!). Now I’ve got a copy, and I’m heading up and over the learning curve. It’s pretty amazing how quickly you can dive right into game logic with this engine!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Did you ever gander at Panda3D? It’s also viable (and free) for MMOs as proven by Disney’s ToonTown Online and Pirates of the Caribbean Online.

Unlike Unity, Panda3D Source comes with it. Making it easier to alter.

The Engine is made in C++, but the scripting is done completely in Python. There’s, literally, hundreds of tutorials for it.

A refreshing review model you have here. Actually using the software rather than telling us what the web site or PDF’s sent from the company say. Well done and thanks for taking the time.

That’s amazing. I’ve seen shots of Fusion Fall, but no hands on. Looked clean enough for an MMO from CN.

So does this mean you will be going ahead on a new game? If so, any plans on development updates, such as via Twitter or prod diaries?

Would love to keep track.
