:b2: Great Product!

:b2: Garage games treats people like professionals not children.

:b2: Can ask tech support any question, no Taboo questions like 3d game studio, 3dgs will not return E-mails if you ask coding questions (they should at least give you a RTFM not leave you waiting for awnsers)... Garage games sent me a great link for a tutorial on the subject in question ! 3 questions 3 replies!!! No SMART ASS remarks!!! I really feel I got my moneys worth...

:b2: The bullets hit the center of cross hairs without modifying half assed code!!! unlike 3dgs!

:b2: BIG community, IRC,

:b2: can cut and paste a game pretty easy.. i was ingame blowing up boxes within 3 hours of downloading the game engine!

:b2: Good documentation!

:b2: Tech support is truthful, they will tell you if it is not possible or if it would be better for you needs to use a different game engine...3dgs I see them telling a kid it is possible to make call of duty with 3dgs...I really hope they did not get that kids money... even with a big team it would be hard to match call of duty's quality.

:b2: Cross platform , MAC, Linux,PC!!! can sell your game to everyone!.. 3dgs depends on direct X 8.1... Increase your market!!! don't leave any gamers out of the picture...
with Live Linux CD it might be possible that you can make for Xbox too! check this out!
