General Discussion / Re: Differences between WME and AGS forums
« on: April 14, 2016, 01:25:23 AM »
Wintermute is the best adventure game engine period. This will not change in the foreseeable future.
I do not think there is a big difference between any of the adventure game forums.
Each AG forum has isolated itself from the broader gaming community, and is paying the price for that decision.
This happens on all the AG forums ( including AGS).
The people who started this forum (and engine) have done an outstanding service. It's up to newcomers
like me to do our part.
The WME engine is NOT the problem. Wether its WME 2.0, android, or iPad - none of these
are the problem because professional developers can write their own plugins.
Any professional developer would consider writing whatever they need to write - to get their
project done - Eborr did, I did. There are plenty of professional game developers out there.
The problem is professional developers have nowhere to market their games.
If a developer creates a great WME game - where could they market it ??
AGS forum ?? - no way, adventure gamers ?? - forget it, I could name all of them,
and the answer would be no (accept maybe gameJolt and itch - but I don't see those as forum sites).
