Hi,
Most important, learn to see through the marketing blahblah of such =20
press releases. I've been involved with making such texts before, so I =20=
know! :)
By default the companies try to mask their weak points, suggest a lot =20=
more than actually is said, and exaggerate things enormously.
Here a few examples from the press release:
"gameSpace provides everything needed for start to finish game content =20=
creation."
-> You can make models and characters for games with with it.
"enabling them to very quickly create stunning, professional-level =20
graphics"
-> Attracting mediocre artists... because *now* they can!
"The immersive first-person-perspective environment will be instantly =20=
familiar to game players,"
-> Truespace only has one 3d window.
=93This is what the independent game developer=92s community has been =20=
waiting for"
-> Caligari desperately seeks a new market.
And finally the obligatory quote:
=93No one wants to trade off power for price,=94 said Roman Ormandy, =20
founder and president of Caligari. =93You shouldn=92t have to cobble =20
together a bunch of shareware products or fight your way through a =20
hard-to-learn interface."
-> argh, Blender is taking away our marketshare!
