MH6~SPARTA~ Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I recently learned about a program Microsoft is running, called BizSpark. This program is for any person or company that is developing a software-based product or service. All you really need is a website. What's so great about it? The fact that with BizSpark, you can download thousands of dollars of software for free, legally. The subscription itself costs $100, but doesn't need to be paid until the subscription expires...in three years. I believe various Windows operating systems are also included in the deal but I'm not entirely sure. You can read more about it here. You can apply here. I'm currently putting together my "company" website for my BizSpark application. And yes, I will be releasing a legitimate product--at the moment I'm writing up a quick 3D version of Risk, which will resemble the campaign map for Empire: Total War (picture), albeit without all the fancy extras. Of course, it's only quick because I'm using the very awesome game engine Torque3D. Anyway, just giving ya'll a heads-up. Figured some of you might be interested, 'cause I know I am.

Visavant Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Looks cool, I could certainly use alot of 2k8 R2 copies and a full .net studio. Nice to see someone else using T3D for their 3D projects, I'm in the middle of an MMO preliminaries and we're weighing in Unity3D, T3D, and proprietary (UT3 / IdT5).

Let me tell you man, nothing beats T3D for its price range. Unity is good, but no source code sucks big time if you want to do anything even remotely unique. Just my 2¢ Edit: I'm making a "company" logo. Nothing great, but here's what it looks like so far (not done yet) Make sure you click it to see good version Edited October 31, 2009 by MH6~SPARTA~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the Unity3D source lock is a massive deterrant, and for $1,000 for each developer but we get to distribute the copies freely makes the most sense to me. T3D's shader setups with the precipitation video on vimeo looked good, and would like to extend a graphical likeness to a dark homage in a Forgotten Realms setting if we can just get Atari to give us licenced Intellectual property use.
