I am removing myself from Moddb, my projects are not very welcome here and the ones I was able to uploaded, well nobody cares for those. I won't be following your project anymore but wanted to wish you good luck before leaving.

This looks awesome! Will be following this one :-)

Nice mod!

Alright! I'll keep an eye on your development anyway :) I LOVE apps like these as you may have noticed by now ^^

The multiplayer aspect can be tricky I can imagine, though the old, and I mean, OLD, DirectPlay libraries were easy to use, I have no idea how these are in DXStudio but I hope the same for you. Ok, those aren't optimal libs but easy to use and unlike claims of others, I say it's stable. Not sure why those libs have a reputation of being unstable.

Well good luck with development, interesting people are always busy, that's why they're interesting ^^

Hey iDev,

To be honest, I don't see this adding anything new or real useful :(

I hope v1.0 will feature some interesting stuff, and checkout Croquet / OpenCroquet, it's really very much the same, and gave much more freedom. I've checked out the website, but I wasn't able to find more info on the plans, do you have some list of features or plans for the project?

Alright! You were not kidding when you said that an update would come soon :-) I'll have a look tonight when I'm home.

Thanks for the great work!

Cheers.

Looks good man, thanks for sharing!

That is most kind of you! I'll check it out soon and maybe I contact you with some questions.

For now, good luck with the development ;-)

Cheers.

I agree, technically this seems very possible!

Very, very, very interesting this dxstudio, again it looks very accessible, gotta love the possibilities for a developer these days! This really looks great... my hands are starting to itch to start working in it.

No hard feelings however! It's good that this will be your own idea, it's your project anyway ;-) but I know as a developer that feedback can be very inspiring, it is usually to me. A 3d chatroom idea is nice, it's a little like Open Cobalt / Open Croquet then? That sure had it's charm, but that engine is in no way comparable with yours (OpenRooms is way better in I think every aspect).

I just have one question: what support for importing 3d models will it offer (if any) ? Now that I started about Croquet I remember having fun taking various models from various games and websites and just smashing them together in "my world" in there. This might be a interesting aspect to extend the possibilities of your idea majorly.

Updates soon? I'll be keeping a VERY close eye from now on ;)

Have a nice weekend!

I've taken the 0.1 preview for a test, this is my first impression, taken into consideration that this is a preview release:

-Good load times, lovely
-Easy model placement, GREAT! That is tricky and done well here.
-Good libraries, seems to rely a lot on DirectX/PhysX, stable and well supported libraries.
-Impressive FPS, though my first room was not very complex it ran impressively smooth.
-Nice menu, though it's a little bit raw at this moment I can see where this is going, the structure is clear and easy to use.
-Wiimote library? That is just too cool.
-I even like the size of it, doesn't seem bloated, well done.

I think this project has epic potential!

Here are some ideas that come from my own little project:

-Custom "paintings", add JPG/PNG files as a painting in the environment
-MP3 player with custom playlists and loading (I do see libs for playback, is this already a thing?)
-Easy level editor
-Multiplayer
-Multiplayer Deathmatch (players can join a person's own room, download the room and have a match)
-Password protected area, doors won't open until a code is put in, this code can be typed through a cool panel.
-Windows "Control Panel" as a room or panel
-Easily add/import/export settings/rooms
-Shortcuts to launch games/apps
-Here's a tech thing: older systems have problems running 2 3d apps the same time, to prevent lockups, when a app is started from the engine, it should hibernate until the process it started finishes.

Great project! I would love to contribute and I probably will do so soon. Thanks.

Sorry I don't have twitter :( but I will keep up here! Well, since 3DNA I wanted something like what you are working on right now, but since I was limited in codingskills I needed to learn C++, I'm doing that right now and 6months ago I was able to use a Quake3 level editor to load a level, without textures or collision. In fact, it barely loads objectmodels, but it does something! I haven't announced this project for the simple reason that I probably won't be able to finish it myself. So hence why I like your project a lot :) I even see that Multiplayer is on the ToDo list, what was the base of my idea. I'll checkout the 0.1 and see what is possible, read more about the project, and see what could be a nice suggestion. I wish you the best luck with this project.

This sounds too good to be true! I'm very interested in this one, reminds me of 3DNA but with more freedom.

Thank you very much for the development
