The graphics engine is done in DBPro, the Physics engine is third party. It is probably a good thing too

Nope, they only ask if you sell the game it goes via tGC so they can take royalties + pass it onto the anonymous company providing the physics.

David T,

"Nope, they only ask if you sell the game it goes via tGC so they can take royalties + pass it onto the anonymous company providing the physics".

Are you able to clarify that at all? e.g. Does that mean than when the physics engine comes along into FPSC and you want to sell games - then will it be mandatory in that instance to sell via TGC or is that optional?

Not that I'm complaining - Selling via TGC is probably ones best bet - though again another question that seems to be unclear at this stage?

Any advice is appreciated.

Thank you

See the latest (I think) newsletter. Its all there in the chat logs. I only read it briefly hence the brief answer.

I've no idea what people making FPSC games do. What I said applies to DBPro developers.

Can anyone say if the new physics engine is, like a subset of the big company's engine? For the price quoted, seems like it wouldn't be the entire thing...
