New 3D Game Project Starting

I'm starting a project to develop a 3D Sonic - type game in DirectX 9. Help
from programmers, 2D and 3D artists, and sound people is needed. The game will
be targeted at Windows 2000 (though it will run on 98) and will be programmed
in C++. Sound and graphics people who join may use either their own tools or
ones developed for this project. Those who contribute will be paid when the
finished product goes to market.

Anyone who is interested please send e-mail to brosi@texas.net. Thank you.

3d engine wise, I'd recommend you look at The Nebula Device before
reinventing the wheel.
http://nebuladevice.sourceforge.net/...Nebula/WebHome
Check my recent posts and/or the archives for reasons why. Short version:
it's much better than all the other open source 3d engines out there.

I would also check out Ogre (ogre.sourceforge.net). It is also very
good. I liked the design more than Nebula personally (when I looked into
both of them).

The design of Ogre might be fantastic. Show me industrial completeness, the
shipped product. Ogre can't hold a candle to Nebula in this respect.
Where's the company behind Ogre? For development velocity, Nebula is the
clear winner.

Now, it could be that one or the other is stronger at this-or-that. I have
no idea about Ogre. I do know Nebula is designed to be a pretty landscaping
engine, and Nebula 2 is DX9 shader centric.

There's also www.catmother.com , very recently abandoned. It's got a demo,
but the demo doesn't run on my machine.

Hi,

Just wanted to add that I know William Brosi, and for him, making a
game engine is not re-inventing the wheel, or something that is ultra
complex or new to him. He has made many games and game engines, and I
have seen them in action. They are amazing!

Regards,
Justin

Programming not a job anymore,
It's a way of life.
A life of programming is a very happy life indeed.
