Hey,
  Oh, sorry if my intentions were mis - interpreted . . .  I was just giving ideas to the guy who started the thread.  He said he wanted to make shining 3d game, I was just offering the suggestion to try not creating a whole new game engine.  Sorry once again if I was coming across otherwise  

  Thanks,

Hey,
  It is, but to be honest, I can make that game do anything I want.  Like I said, it's completely moddable, I can change every aspect of that game.  Infact, the game even has a human male and female model, and dwarven male model already as playable characters.  I have had a centaur built for the game as well.  *shrugs*
  It appears no one really has an interest in this though, sorry.

  Thanks,
               AA

Hey,
  Guys I work with an engine of a cool game called Dungeon Siege ( http://www.gaspowered.com/ds1/index.shtml ) and there are some incredible games in the works with that engine.  Infact, I originally wanted to make a SF game with this engine ( because it wouldn't be that hard at all ) but I don't do the least bit of art, so I decided there was no point for me to start because the project would require massive amounts of art work ( though all the tools required are available ).  I really wish I had of found artists long time ago, heh.
  Incase anyone is interested though, Dungeon Siege has a party system and is one of the most moddable games available, I have completely altered the entire workings of the engine several times.  It's a good one.

  Thanks,

Hey,
  Am big time shining forces 2 fan, have been playing that game since I was like 10.  If you guys want to recreate the game, why reinvent the wheel?  You are saying "Create a game engine, then a game", why not skip step 1?  There are plenty of rpg games out there to modify, they have "mod" kits which you can download and create your own wonderful games.  Same amount of work - yes, much better final product - yes.
  Just a suggestion, but if any of you know anything about game modding, you should look into it.

  Thanks,
                AA
