ENIGMA Development Environment

Well come January you lot might have something to fear - will it take away ENIGMA ? Nope ! there will always be some people working on side projects, each product is unique in its own way.  ENIGMA might be considered a dead project.....in a way it's a project that many contributors worked on who left so leaving the few sorting through the MESS left and therefore inherited.  So some people might think working on a NEW project would be better than trying to fix rubbish.

Guess YYG finally woke the fuck up - assuming GMS 2 is really a complete re-write, which they hint it is! IDE, core, every bloody thing.

Now taking this route for ENIGMA would mean ENIGMA = dead and people would wait years for something concrete, OR attempt as much as possible to band-aid what we have, a la YYG and better.......

LOL @ lone!

Smartass.

TKG, I don't think you read the license....It's OPEN SOURCE, it's subject to the terms - you are allowed to modify it, play it, etc but it has to remain a freeware and credit be given.
Read the info in license.txt you have your answer there !

I read some rumours a long time ago that DX12 might be the actual last version of DirectX as we know it before a completely new architecture, what are your opinions on this ?  I mean how far can we go ?  Are we going to end up with 32Gb, 64GB, 128GB, 1TB textures ?  Are we destined for more DX's ? DX13, DX14, DX15, etc?   Some say DX12 is what DX11 should have been, so assuming DX12 is the raving success that is claimed to be, this could very well be a version that will "stick" for many years.

There comes a time when your GPU will have just as much RAM as your system and more.
Games are getting BIGGER it's ridiculous, and getting far shorter game play.  It's to wonder if one day air cooling will be obsolete and liquid cooling a minimum requirement. Those new cards to come out, their setups look like huge cooling towers LOL!

Thanks for proving my point so now that we know a lot of game studios sleep in the same bed as Micro$oft, I think we know that DX is not going to be abandoned for OpenGL any time soon.

I don't understand, unless I missed something, why the bloody hell would they strip you of exports you already purchased I have the HTML5 export, they didn't strip me of that or anything else.......something I missed along the line.  Those who already have the exports won't be stripped of anything, they will get the YYC upgrade free...Those who do not have the exports will have to cough up the extra dineros   and those who don't, have until november 6th (d-day) to buy the exports at the old price.

What did I miss ?
if anything they *OWE* you, for this mf'ingly amazing extension you made that really adds immense value to GMS, why would they be giving you a hard time.

One can dream Dk2 :-D

Yeah we all know Robert is secretly working on something in LGM we'll know soon.

Dreaming is good by day it's good dreaming by nite shitty weird a$$ dreams.... so it creates a balance

I once dreamt that I had GMS 2 installed on my system, it was a totally new IDE, everything was completely redone, 5x-10x speed increases from GMS1, everything people wanted, etc........then I woke up

How about ditching GL1 and maintaining GL3/4.....
But there again you have to ask yourself if this is a priority over other things that need fixed/done..... I mean it's not tomorrow that people will be making GL4/DX12 optimised games in ENIGMA......right ?

Hi Guys,

Just wondering, is there any 'out of the box' SWF support in ENIGMA yet?

I am ready to ditch GM:S in favour of ENIGMA, but my current project relies heavily (99%) on vector graphics. I have been fighting with YYG lately with a lot of things ranging from disagreements with moderators to having paid exports being stripped from my licence. So, I foresee this will only get worse with their 'free YYC upgrade to all' that this coming up.

Thanks in advance

I honestly don't understand why people are so unhappy about these changes from YYG.

#1) If you already paid for your exports, you will be getting the "compiler upgrade" (YYC) free......Come 6th of november they will push an update to integrate the compiler to exports......all you will need to do is click on update license and restart.  Why the hell would they strip anything from something you paid for ?

#2) The price increase will be effective for new purchases, obviously.  Some exports by $100+......BUT this is good for developers who, for instance want to purchase only 1 export, android for example, they will pay $100 more for the android, BUT they will save $199....... As before they would have paid $199 for the Android export + $299 for the YYC.......So even with a hike in prices for exports, you can see the savings !

YES the developer who purchases all compiler enabled exports will end up paying more total...... ($100 more) across all exports.  That's nothing ! if a developer has the means to spend all the money on ALL exports, it's because they are serious developers......YYG takes no royalty fees from you, if you release independent from them.  So their new changes will benefit a lot from people getting into this, new people, those who don't want to purchase all exports.....if you do the math you will see people actually save and that these changes are POSITIVE....... People only look at the price hike but didn't bother seeing how they can actually save.

#3) They gave advance notification ! This was brought up in the forum.  With such advance notification people can still buy their exports at current prices, before they get increased by $100.....they will still get the compiler upgrade FREE.
SURE master collection will increase in price, they will probably increase it by $200-$400.....or a significant increase, to pave way for the alleged subscription model in GMS 2, and that would be a good strategy to "sell" the benefits of a subscription model.

Who would spend all that money unless they are serious developers doing it for money.........

ALSO, the YYC is irrelevant to most people, because most games people make more use of the GPU.  and their YYC is not exactly stellar anyway.....something they probably will significantly improve in GMS2.

Where I agree with complaints are those who spent $300 for the bloody compiler.....but they are only to blame for throwing that money on a compiler.......

So unless I missed something, the changes they made are good for all.........
