[Bf-gamedev] Bf-gamedev Digest, Vol 17, Issue 13

[Angus Hollands]

Francisco,
I appreciate your concern, but increasingly this mailing list is becoming
an extension of BlenderArtists or other such discussion forums. The purpose
of the Blender mailing lists is to discuss game-dev development tasks,
including but not limited to the Blender Game Engine.
Over the past few weeks we have instead seen large volumes of abstract
discussion without direction or intent for any contribution towards the
areas associated with this list. Replies *should* either inform or request,
with significant accentuation upon concrete targets, rather than naively
discussing game engine development topics. Whilst a valid discussion, it
belongs in a forum.

Feel free to email me (my email is in the header) for further discussion to
avoid polluting the list, or message me at BlenderArtists.org (agoose77)
