CD Projekt RED releases free REDKit

Good news for RPG lovers, CD Projekt RED, the polish studio behind The Witcher saga, has released REDKit, a free engine. A bit outdated (it is the version used for Witcher 2) and still in beta stage, it is anyway a nice addition to the list of choices.
But unfortunately, I cant find the feature list in the site or wiki, and there is a weird requirement: The witcher 2 should be installed (maybe as demo resources?).
the wiki contains enough documentation for you to start playing with the tool and they claim that no programming knowledge is needed to build your very own RPG game with complex plots.

Back to posting

It has been a long time without posting here. Mostly, because my internet connection is so slow that fails to load the editor page, such thing has affected my posting rate even on my main blog. But well, after many days of delying the restart, Im back with  good  news anda good article.
First the good news: there is a rumor in SDL mailing list that May is the release month. Havent seen an RC lately, so Im not that sure, but SDL 2 have been in use for a while, even myself I have been using it for a 2D project with some success. Stay tuned, just in case.
The article for today is Permutation Programming Without Maintenance Nightmares, which I specially recommend, written by a member of the Game Programmers mailing list. Enjoy!

Unity 4 beta available for download

After a long wait, Unity 4 beta becomes public, you can donwload it here. The most interesting feature for free users (IMHO) is native Linux support.

Torque 3d goes open source

The indie oriented torque 3d game engine will be released under MIT License, the source, docs and some other related stuff is going to be in Github repositories.
This is really good news for indie and free game developers, let's see what's the result of this move.

Black Isle Studios is back

And still haven't read a single positive comment about this. A broke company, without any interesting IP, an studio that is just an empty shell, and the guy responsible for this is the one trying to get it back. Not good, definitely not good.

Jorrit posts about AresEd

The creator of CrystalSpace has posted a long article (with images) about latest work on AresEd. This seems to be an step in the right direction to make CS really usable and similar to commercial engines. According to Jorrit, the first release will allow to make simple games, not a big deal, but at least it is something.
