Not sure if you all even browse this forum anymore, but just in case.

It is a middleware engine for 99$, has a good number of features we have been craving in sl, for 99$ it may be useful to browse it's code. Just a thought....since it looks a bit better than what we have now....
We have an amazing innovative new platform/game/whatever and graphics & physics from 99/2000. Go look at some of the new games, with as many devs as you have we should be able to look better than we do. Rather disheartening to newcomers and content developers alike. Hire an art director and some artists to help you make better art related decisions...again just a thought from a long time supporter. Maybe more time should be spent on directed work and less time on pet projects? Sorry if I sound frustrated, but I am. I love SL but damn, you are falling behind.

It's not going to happen. Realise people that upgrading SLs physics engine breaks A LOT of existing content, code, and stability hence the delay to Havok 2 two years ago to "maybe someday in the future."

And sadly the longer they wait the more it breaks. There comes a point when they have to break a few eggs to update, but the problem only gets worse as time goes on.

I agree I am fed up waiting for something that was promised long long time ago and Sl is rapidly slipping behind with tons of useless commercial updates without alteration to basic areas which are now way way out of date. Havoc 2 was promised ages ago and should be here by now, we are starting to look primitive and how long before the 3 year old avatar making system receives a major Poser level upgrade ( see Vote Proposition 125)

Requires latest DirectX® version installed. So much for that. |
