NeoAxis Engine 2019.3

Thanks!

I yet do not see any reasons to not continue the work!

Without OGRE I certainly would not make releases so quickly. And in general nothing would be without it.

I couldn't really tell from what I've seen so far -- but I am guessing that it is possible to make games with what is included in the demo distribution? I've only started dabbling with the demo and tools, so I don't know yet if the demo is a single exe with the demo game code, or if it's a standalone programmable DLL (assembly) with a documented API.

On the basis of Demo it is possible to make much enough. Since at her there are source codes of a Demo. They are compiled without source codes of a engine.

But. It will be soon accessible SDK (approximately in 2 months).
In her there will be a documentation: API Reference, descriptions and tutorials. Also then will source codes of a Demo are documentary.

I really like the editor and resources viewer, especially since you can do physics and gui editing too. The engine seems very flexible and the built in script editor makes it very cool. Very promising.
It'd be great to be able to recompile c# scripts while the game is running. My flatmate does this in his app and it's really usefull and he said it was easy to get going.

Cool man. You've added a lot of features in such a short time. I was just checking out the latest demo. I especially liked how well the 3D guis worked. Nice work.

The neoaxis forum seems to be down, I followed the '1st room' tutorial, tried to add another .mesh, it said 'already
has unique entity'.

betauser · Post by **betauser** » Fri Feb 23, 2007 5:02 pm

The NeoAxis forum is switched-off, because we change a hosting provider.
Sorry.

I have been using NeoAxis for around 3 months. The tools are great and are under continual development.

This engine is going to be AWESOME in a few more releases.

I highly recommend downloading and checking out the demo and the tools.

The particle editor in the Resource Editor alone is worth the download for Ogre users.

This looks like it has amazing potential.

If it comes out the way it seems that it will, it will be far better than Torque.

It's interesting, because I've had an idea for a similar project for quite some time (though I haven't done very much work on it). I'm really a bit envious, since you're doing such an amazing job with this with no help.

I have a short question - will it be free for non-commerical use?

Good news!

Conditions of licensing are changed.
http://www.neoaxisgroup.com/services.htm

Now SDK is accessible for all.
The noncommercial license is absolutely free.

To download SDK it is possible here:

I'm glad to see that the non-commercial license has been made free. I'm definitely going to give it a look when finals are over.

I haven't had time to do any non-school coding for nearly a month

Oh my God!

Though I won't be using it (I prefer working with my own framework), it will be an excellent learning experience to see someone else's engine and how the tools work together.

One of my purposes - to take hold of your consciousness.

Looks like you are getting somewhere!

I agree with Vectrex: This could evolve into a real Torque-Killer!

I've been tinkering around for sometime, and I must say, you have got an excellent tool system!

A great game engine for the Ogre community.
Really good good news!

Yes.
