Well put. TrueSpace is great for getting started in 3D (It's what I
started with). But like the original BASIC interpreters, it warps the =
user's
view on how things should be done, and is not easy to get something big
done.
I have to admit though, The gameBlender engine needs allot of work
before we will be able to make the next version of Splinter Cell in it.

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 =
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!
