Re: DXGame 2D+ Engine Demo #1 - dxgame (0 replies, 956 views) (2004-Apr-19)

Hello, As one of the programmers on this project, clearly we need some work on whats gets posted publicly about the requirements of this engine. :) 1) The demos posted work on 128mb machines. 2) The engine runs fine on ANY 3D card that supports the DirectX 8 API. Geforce 2 cards are pretty much the low end still available today. We just purchased 2 more for test machines over the weekend from "Comp USA" for only $45.00 each. (Great deal by the way, with 64mb on the card.) But clearly we are focusing this engine on today's typical user, not yesterdays. 2D games are making a huge comeback. Today's shareware downloader expects more. They expect "3D like" effects. We're not developing this engine so programmers can make updated versions of Tetris. Instead, think of games like 2D Sonic & the Castlevania series. Novice programmers will be amazed by the results they can achieve with minimal code. Advanced coders will be able to program some truly awesome projects. Stay tuned.... :)
