Here are some screens an old demo

AWESOME! This needs to be made into a fangame. You can't jump on the Koopas though..

AWESOME Indeed!
This is a GREAT engine

I realy need to lern 3D Stuff!

It times out though

The demo doesn't work for me; however, the screens look extremely good.
Let's hope this has success.

Forgot about the timeout, when i do a new demo it wont have it hopefully

Why didn't it work for you? any error message?

This demo was an early test and the engine is becoming much improved.
Im hard at work on the engine and editor and will add many many things.
I have edge grabbing, wall sliding/jumping, jumping on baddies etc in or todo.
Im trying to make the editor as simple to use as possible, you simply dropped actors into levels and attach scripts to them to give them ai, dialogue, behaviour etc.
Actors are pc's, npc's, placeables ie chests, stars, coins etc

example of OnUse script for a chest.

;self is the chest you are checking/using
;user is whoever checked the chest ie the player

If GetVar(self.TActor,checked) = false

SetVar(self.TActor,checked,true)
AddItemToInventory(User.TActor,coin,5)

endif

This would simply give you 5 coins the first time you checked the chest.
Very basic for the user but you can do allsorts like opening and closing the chest(automatically done but can be changed), locking/opening the chest.

The engine allows more than 1 player, you just attach a controller the any actor you wanna control and you can have just 1 camera or split screen.

I'll keep you posted

It doesn't work for me. "Memory access violation"

Great engine

I really hope this becomes a fangame, the graphics are amazing. If this becomes a fangame, it could even have quality as good as SM64!

If you get a memory access violation did you extract to the files to the original directory structure ie you should have a data,ground,particle,scripts and sky folder in the main folder and the data folder has a few subfolders down to the folders of each character.

Jumping is left contrl, read the readme
shadow detail can also be changed with keys 6-7

Very nicely done!

I just finally got it working...

Oh my god. You are the winner. I want more

...That was amazing.

The possibilities for a game are ENDLESS. keep up teh good work.

This was very very very nice. The models are perfect, I got great FPS. I hope you're planning a platform game like Mario 64. I love the controls as well (WASD for moving + arrows for camera). Spacebar was confusing though (I kept thinking it was for jumping. CTRL was annoying).

Keep us informed.

This is so awesome. :O !!!

I'd rather use a mouse to look around though. :[

A bit more info...

I am creating a 3d rpg/platformer creator, YOU should be able to create a game similar to mario64 or even zelda. Most of the stuff like edge grabbing or auto-edge jumping like in zelda64 should/will be in plus all the painful stuff like jumping, collisions etc, you just place actors, add scripts and of you go.

You can populate the level with npc's, place some trees, add a house and run the level.
Everything will act how it is designed to. The cool part is you can change the way it acts very easily. This includes controls, cameras, ai etc through the scripts attached to them.
If you want your character to walk slower or have a slower turn when running, simple.
If you want to do the triple jump like in mario64 you just have to add it through scripting (still working it out though to make it as modifiable as possible). You can even remove jumping and have it done automatically ala zelda.

All game actors have various scripts which run based on certain events eg when you touch/collide with an actor, when you initiate dialogue or activate an actor ie a door.

I am a huge fan of nintendo games and the editor will hopefully let you guys recreate them too!!

I won't post as often as today but will try to answer queries

So... you're making an engine and editor for MFGG to create 3D games?

A NEW GOD HAS RISEN

Indeed Greates ever.

how do you putt 3D Models in it?

I'd learn how to make 3D Characters just for this
(if i get good att it i'd make Stuff from the 2D games in to 3D.)

Man this is one of the BEST engine's EVER!!

yep

It's been hard work too, and along way to go

Incredible. Very, very impressive. You're programming this yourself... in what?

holy **** thats good
