Hi i have now decided to finally buy the 3D game maker.
Well i just have seen that you have to buy a license to sell a CD of my game.
I was wondering if i also shall buy a license if the game shall get up on the internet?

Best Regards

um, you only have to buy a liscense if you sell it over the interent i think, via digital distribution. i think the liscenes like 100 dollars, but i'm not sure it might be more.

I think it's strange how The Game Creators sell a license for The 3D Gamemaker, which is not that good anyway, and a person is very unlikely to make a quality game with it, and good software like FPS Creator which can make commercial quality games and doesn't need a license!

Yeah I always though that to OF.

1 single game distribution liscence = $99
Life time distribution of all games you make = $499

Definatly not worth it.

I looked at a friends copy of T3DGM, bad idea, don't get it. It's certainly nowhere near as good as it says on the box.

well i'm happy fpsc doesn't need a liscense. But i don't think you should sell your games with T3GM. I mean it's fun and cool to play around with. But, u could

TGC should really think about changing the license for T3DGM. I skipped purchasing it when I found that out. I bought DBC instead. Than a week later bought DBpro.

Now if it were something like rpgMaker, and was scriptable, and had more options, possibly I would have considered. It's one thing that I think TGC did right. Going to a different business model. Licensing, while profitible, just kills any tool for me. I'd rather plod along coding my own, use something that doesn't have license fee, or looking for a different product. If DBC & DBpro had a license payment scheme, I would still be using Allegro. Which honestly is looking interesting again, considering I am ready to dust off my C++ skills. I still need to look into Torque & Ogre.

That makes two of us.Out of all of the game making products that TGC has this is the last one that should have a licensing fee.

You're not understanding this.Of course all TGC products have a license.It's just that you have to pay out the nose for a separate license to sell games made with The 3D Gamemaker.Kind of like Texture Maker.If you want to use your textures for commercial use (or allow others to) the license is more expensive than one for making noncommercial textures only...which makes sense in the case of Texture Maker.
It doesn't make sense to me that an additional license would be required to sell games with The 3D Gamemaker since FPSC and DB/DBP don't require an additional license.

i know fredp sorry that's what i ment. For selling games the liscense that was required. But i am very happy that selling games with FPSC and DB/DBP don't require that additional liscense. since those are what i manly use.

It wouldn't if it was brand new, but at the time, it was good, and the license just has not been removed yet.
If T3DGM supported other systems like Nintendo DS, it would be fine.

Who will die first?

Yeah T3DGM is awful. I am even sorry I paid a £5 for it off eBay. You can make games with it but their rubbish and i mean a driving mode and you shoot stuff not race! It doesen't make sense. Ohh I got a car and I want to shoot things with it! Don't buy the license what ever you do!
