[Bf-gamedev] BGE to visual Presentation and Blender for easier usage for other gamengines.

[Matt Three]

I honestly wouldn't worry about another language at the moment...I'm not
sure what it would really add for game art creation.  I think a lot of tech
artists are proficient in Python as it is used in Maya and Max scripting.
 The big issue for most of us who use Blender for game projects on 3rd
party engines is the missing features. Right now Blender is feature
incomplete for game art creation when stacked up against Maya or 3ds Max.
In my opinion this is the first thing that this list and effort should
address.
