GERMAN 3D GAME ENGINE

There's been this very long running series of 3D game engines called Acknex (since even DOS days I think) that I think would be great on the list of makers to choose from in game profiles. The engine itself is called Acknex and the company that made it is a German company called Conitec Datensysteme. 3DGameStudio is the name of the suite of programs that came with it (level editor, script editor, etc.).

I mentioned using it in the contest that's running and it would be nice if it said Acknex instead of Custom. The sweet thing about this engine, however, is that it can be custom. You can write your own engine in C compiled together with the SDK to make a program that runs Acknex games with your own code on top.

Here's the program icon for the version I'm using. These programs aren't free- that's the problem and I don't feel like spending money on A7 (I don't like to keep buying more software when I have stuff that already works)



That's just the styled DirectX logo with "A6" on it. Their actual logo is that epic cube with the engine version number on it.

(edit: I found another icon that's more personalized to the engine)




This would also be a nice addition so that I don't have to answer 80+ questions of "nice! what engine is that!?"

Well now, don't go dissing the SNES style RPGs. Plus, 3DGS can be a pain to work with if you want to make an RPG as WDL is missing lots of things that could make your life easier (as far as complicated interfaces and RPGs go). But, for what I'm doing it works.

This was really supposed to be a "please add this engine to the engines list" topic though.
