why not Google sketchup? Mojang uses it to make Minecraft.
Quote from: Vertigo in Garvin's threadDon't start saying what the modders have been making isn't good enough.Joe has been making Backlash for ages, put loads of work into it, and by the looks of things, when it comes out it will be a fantastic new mod of RA2 to play, the same goes for Click and DSL3We are limited yes, but the boundaries are being pushed to the max, and what is being produced is big step forwardThere are only a few people we've got that can do this sort of stuff (completely not including me, so I don't have the foggiest why you put me in your original post), and with the greatest respect, you are quite new here. We can't do anything with the other game (the botapp one), as the source code has unfortunately been lost, all we will ever have is the demo. So you're implying that the select few that could possibly do it, make a whole new robot combat game from scratch, do you have any idea how much work that would be?What I am trying to say is, give the modders some respect for what they are doing. You have said "we have all been making mods of RA2", "we should mod it", "we could ignite the spark". We? No, "we" can't, and again with the greatest respect, I'm quite sure that you couldn't help at all like the majority of us. This could be done, yes, but for the select few who could do this (JoeBlo, Click, Serge, Madiaba etc.) it would be a VERY difficult and a VERY long task to achieve. Just appreciate what they are doing at the moment.If Serge was posting this, and had already made good progress with the "new game" on whatever physics engine he was using, then maybe yes, there would be motivation for all those people to get together and make an improved robotic combat game. But for people to start making a WHOLE new robotic combat game at the drop of the hat isn't going to happen.Sorry if that sounded a bit harsh, I just wanted to fully explain the position that RA2 is in, I highly doubt a new game will be made

HAI GUISE I HAVE A STEERING WHEEL AND A WRENCH WHERE DID I PUT THEM TO MAKE CAR?
Even if Click stops DSL3 but JoeBlo keeps going with Backslash the community might die (No offence to Joe, Backslash is awesome!! But its not as "Official" as DSL)

The problem with BotApp is that it's not really that impressive. When you think about it, the gameplay was almost the same as in RA2 - all rigid bodies, no deformation... boring!@Skiitzzox220: Yes, it is stupid, as five minutes of work in Blender does not a game make nor does it contribute anything towards possible development. It's like sayin cutting out a cardboard silhouette of a car seat contributes toward the design of a car.
BotApp had no bot building capabilities thus would die pretty fast in a community standpoint..
I find that pretty harsh actually... You gotta start somewere, And I give him credit for atleast trying instead of just standing there & Crying for another RA game like meh :P
BotApp looked more dynamic coz of the breaking pieces of chassis & Such.
If someone wants to make another Robot Combat game we shouldent just diss him for it, I hope this guy acutally gets somewere (And doesnt loose the source code :P)
I myself have a friend that knows some programming & Can make games, Im trying to get him to get interested in robot combat, But he asks for money to make a game like BotApp-ish (Ofcourse, Better)
