@Igi – This is NOT the BGE (Blender Game Engine). It's a collaboration with the Crystal Space project. And the point is: Blender will gain many improvements due to the project, as well as proving that it can be integrated into a game development workflow.

Sure ,
must never lost the focus on the 3D for movies end scenes ..

But there is the thing about Game Engine ,
to bring it to life ,that the player can control it ,,
building cinematicts for the game too .

And what ??? Its Open Source or not ??
For what i see theres only a few that create something ,
what about the world and all humans on it ?

I cannot do anything but ideas ,because im not able
to create all of it yet .

I guess everyone can start create a project that it will be a
Blender Foundation thing .
the only thing is that it should not stop for make it official .

So everyone will be focused on that you like most .

So when is somebody going to test this thing?

I've been playing around with the playable demo and can walk through the walls all the time.
Not even mentioning the 7fps framerate on my monster machine at work I use to create my Maya projects…

Well, I don't know…I've been with Blender since the first windows version years ago, and the development is absolutely amazing, but after seeing the Apricot videos and trying the demo, I relly think the devs should drop this whole "game engine" stuff completely. What's the point? It runs slower and looks worse than the Quake2 engine!!! There are no practical applications of this whatsoever…maybe keeping just a part of it in blender that could be used for simulations, architectural walkthroughs and similar would be good, but trying to make it a full blown game engine is doomed to failure. And no, this is not trolling, just a realistic view…I'm really afraid that the prestige Blender has gained with BBB will be lost with this fiasco.

It can't be called Frank Unleashed because he was never on a leash in the first place.

I think the story concepts for both the movie and the game are really crass / crap. First a movie that's about little more than violent revenge and then a game based around bullying. And both in a style appealing to young people. If nothing else it show's a lack of imagination.

Anyway, how about…

why not go with one of the original titles of BBB, only slightly modified: Rodent's Revenge
