Hi there!! I want to move to 3d development and I see two engines that looks pretty good.<\/p>\n

Blender Game Engine: Not only looks good but it’s free, so looks excelent. The problem is i don’t see anyone one using it… anyone know why is that? It’s slow? It’s worst that it looks?<\/p>\n

Unity3D: Looks fantastic… but the commercial version it’s really expensive for an indie developer (1500 dollars). So, did you think that you could do a decent game with the free version?<\/p>\n

Any other suggestions?<\/p>\n

Thanxs in advance.<\/p>","time":"August 20th, 2013 5:27 am","title":"An eternal question\u2026 and yet stupid?"}
