Lots of balls on display.

Still too much.

That 5$ will contribute to the continued bastardization of the Alien franchise.

Not worth $.05.

Please elaborate (your a game dev I think arent you?). Unity is an engine not an sdk by the way.
I'm learning unity and I think its fantastic. Its extremely well optimised and actually runs well on the platforms you can build to. So you really can make your game once and build for many platforms.
I also think it strikes the best balance between being an existing engine and letting you build your game however you want.
I though unity and unreal were the only serious contending game engines on the market atm.

Like just about every other creative tool, they all have their pro's and cons...and those pros/cons are *highly* dependent on the specifics of the project and what your background is. I won't go into boring specifics of my experience, but in short I found Unity great for creating quick prototypes, but *TO ME* Unreal has a more intuitive work environment, Editor and work flow.

In either case, you're going to be sitting in a dark room with a big book and at least 20 tabs open to intentionally cryptic web tutorials. So choose wisely.

It's a battle between Unreal and Crytek3. The scope of levels crytek3 can put out are pretty amazing - although the bigger you get, the more detail you sacrifice. If you took your time, and had tons of different permutations for your planet model based on how far you are from it, I think you could even do a planet-to-moon or planet-to-planet scale "level". Not just instanced, but actually all there, at the same time with no loading zones.

People have to stop worrying about insanely dense and layered textures on EVERY surface. You can create visually arresting levels without the use of insane amounts of highly dense textures. It's cool to see the warts on a frog's ass, but I'd take advantage of the scale possible and the amazing physics/vehicle interactions that have yet to even really be taken advantage of.

I played the everliving shit out of the 1942 mod "Galactic Conquest". I'm not even a huge star wars fan, but the amount of fun I've had online in that game is almost unparallelled to any other i've played. The diversity of vehicles needs to be anything from single person carriers to gigantic space fighter launching capital ships with death cannons.

It'd be the spiritual successor to GC, and I wouldn't mind losing the star wars connection entirely - I'd rather make my own IP anyways. It wouldn't seek to copy the mod, it would seek to capture the reasons for the mod being fun to begin with.

I'm not a programmer, I'm a level designer, but I've worked directly with and under the lead programmers for various open-source projects. I'm a jack of all asses, so my knowledge of photoshop is more utilitarian and less artistic - I can perform fixes of things I don't like, but I'm not going to be able to create a digital painting. I can sometimes create textures out of nothing that are pretty cool, but it's always on an as-needed basis. My whole thing is that I learn a thousand different programs that all do some tiny part of a bigger thing i'm trying to accomplish. When I was creating marathon levels I had to learn Hexedit, and taught myself hexadecimal. When I was learning Myth initially, I had to learn a different program for every type of tag file, and nothing was WYSIWYG.

Cryengine's editor makes me jizz in my pants.

What the heck IS it with design programs and intentionally cryptic web tutorials? Game engines, 3D modeler programs, Adobe products, it goes on. It's like all the tutorial writers are in a contest to see who can come up with the most roundabout inefficient complex way to do things.

That's because engineers made everything.

Porn? That's going to be actual sex in the future.
