Hello, I'm new here. I have been learning Game Development and now actually working on my own two games for a year now. One game is a action 3PS shooter/RPG type game and the other game RPG. I have realized that I desire to have scaled version of these games on Android. This engine has become very attractive to me for that reason and others. I also like the idea of a engine that overs working RPG template.

Has anyone else here come from Unity or is using it on another project like me that could share some advice on your experience with this engine?

I am not asking a this vs that question. Just how do you like this engine and how was learning curve with it?

I script in C# currently?

Is the C++ Code Editor easy to learn?

I very happy and excited to become a part of this community.

Currently I use the following tools:

Game engines: Unity and Esenthal (as of today)

Sculpting: 3D-Coat, Zbrush R5, and Blender 2.66

Modeling: Blender

Extra Characters and prototyping assets: Daz 3D

Art: Photoshop

Textures: reality paint and 3D-Coat

Big welcome dude
Yea, I installed unity and quickly removed it.
It's a big game editor with some C# scripting- that's fine for non coders.
Esenthel are C++ libraries with a code/world editor.

I if your advanced with your C# you 'should' transition fine.
If not, you'll struggle just learning advance C++

"advice on your experience", see my blog I started here.
Good luck with it!

The editor will take some getting used to, but you will have time to futz while you get your assets in order. I learned C# as my primary language, and the hardest part of the transition is getting used to C++'s almost archaic feel. If you stick with it, you'll do fine.

Thanks for the replys! The linksprovided will help also. I have some background in Ansi C from work years ago. These will be most helpful. I am having trouble finding documentation and a tutorial. I can;t figure out if I need to install Microsoft visual studio or is everything I need included in the game engine download.

Thanks

That link is for 1.0
Please just run the editor, inside it you will be prompted for visual studio and it will open the browser with download link for you.
Yes you need vs for compilation, I recommend 2008 because it's much faster

Thanks I will try running the EE version 2 editor and continue on to install VS 2008

Should I get familiar with EE 1 before EE 2 or should I start with EE 2.

Thanks!

v2 is better and easier! but the demo editor is limited.

Please jump straight into 2.0 as it's much easier to work with, especially for newcomers

Thanks. with version 1 I am able to find the GUI editor and other features, I have complied version 2.0 but can't find any of the editors. Is there 2.0 specific documentation? Thanks and sorry for showing up with 50 million questions, I'm just so eager to learn about this engine.

Right click in the asset browser area and click on "New GUI". This will create a new gui object. Double click on it to open it and you will be in the GUI Editor.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Thanks!
