Q: Why
did you decide to use Conitec's engine?
A:
We were very impressed with the 3D Gamestudio program and its capabilities.
3D
GameStudio is the leading authoring system for 2D and 3D real-time applications.
It combines a high-end 3D engine, a 2D engine, a highly realistic physics engine,
a map and model editor, a script compiler, plus huge libraries of 3D objects
and artwork. It has never been easier to create 1st person games, 3rd person
games, role playing games, side scrollers, flight simulators, board games and
sports games.
