RealmCrafter

[Sakrateri]

I would like to issue a warning to anyone thinking of purchasing Reamlcrafter, I bought this program in April of 2006 and since then it has all been promises of a stable engine and many improvements, So far there has NEVER been anything even remotely stable and it has constantly been a case of having to start the entire game over. I feel I have given them more then enough ample opportunity to make at least a half decent program but alas....it continues to be riddled with problems and broken promises.....So beware.

RC Pro was released to existing owners yesterday. I downloaded it but haven't even unpacked it yet.

Lawmaker is looking good from the brochures and has a $100ish "weekend warrior" licence which I've purchased so I can plink around in it at my leasure without demo time limits (they have a demo you can get for free by emailing the company). I've messed around a bit in the editor and the system is very slick. The biggest draw for me was their claim of advanced networking capabilities - automated replication and minimum bandwidth use. How effective it is, I have no idea since I haven't even gotten close to that stage yet.
