Unity 3D editor
-
Anyone here played around with it? I did a while back and now it looks even better, with even more resources available.
Would be fun if someone wanted to make a small and simple game with it to learn more.The main reason I would want to do this is because it turns out that unity can be used to create multiplayer games too (which was not very likely when I first looked at it).
But, before trying to do something like that a small and simple game would be needed to learn the tool, and then maybe next try something bigger. -
Yeah I've made a couple games in it, it's very very good, takes a while to get into the way it works. One of my friends works in a company that uses it to produce educational games.
It's not small project though, especially with multiplayer.

Looks pretty good though making a CoA2 would take a lot of work I imagine.

I know very well that making games are no small projects. I've worked as an intern for a game developing studio in the past, for a child's game. It took 2-3 years (I worked there for one year) and $1 000 000 to complete.
But, with unity combined with other products it can be done without having to do everything yourself. For example, there are two server side software solutions that could be used to handle that part:
SmartFoxServer (http://www.smartfoxserver.com/)
Photon Server (http://www.exitgames.com/)Not that I'd want to start with this, that's just insane. I was thinking about starting with a small platform game or something. Maybe a puzzle game...
And yeah, a CoA2 game would have been awesome but it would take a dedicated team with solid knowledge of the unity 3d editor (and programming/scripting) and 3d modelling/skinning/animating + a whole bunch of other stuff (sound, dialogues and other texts, quests, scene building/levels to name a few).

I would just wait until Neverwinter comes out and see if we can build an Arabel zone with their foundry though honestly we may have to wait until a server emulator comes out.

This isn't CoA but its probably the closest thing we will get for NWN2 and they are looking for help so who says we can't influence them :P Baldurs Gate fans should espicially like this and with the playerbase they currently have this server definitely has the most potential out of anything I have seen from NWN2 http://talesofamn.myfreeforum.org/index.php
