I read this announcement on his Itch.io page and it seems the wanderer has returned. Be interesting to see what he comes up with now because it looks like he's targetting all his old compilers, Max, Blitz3d with this new 3d system. 

Here's a link to the dev post he put up. There's a a link in there also to a new forum he's put in place. 

New 3D system

This has come at the right time for me as AGK has been shelved. I think Mark should get this out pretty quickly as Blast 3d may be a thing soon. I wrote my first game with Blitz 3D on the PC.
Blitz3D 2 will be most welcome and I look forward to trying it. 
Enjoy your coding.

QuoteThe 3D engine will use a simple entity system similar to Blitz3D

That's all I needed to read, really.

Quote@impixi Welcome back, it's like we're getting the band back together or something!
Yeah, you'll reallistically need a Linux/Windows PC for a while yet sorry, but I'm leaning towards getting more involved in Mac long term, see how it goes.


I guess, desktops are main objective, which is good thing as far as i can tell.. ;D

Nothing wrong with multiplatform providing it's done correctly.

I would say good luck to Mark, but I wouldn't be spending any of my money or time using this new library with his track record.

..i assume B3D V2 will be similar to B3D we all know in a way that whole thing is integrated in to one IDE, but i may be wrong..im curious what form it will be..

Very true but I was thinking more on the extra workload for one person to keep up with.

Good to hear, will be interested to see how it progresses.

Huge 3D fan, these days I'm more into 2D coding fun - its more achievable! (its easier not to get to distracted with ....oh I wonder if I could do that? In Blitz 3D I managed to make a pretty mad Mario Fort Block tower which you could drive an articulated truck, which had a drop down door on the back - in which you could swap controls to a car Knight Rider style!).
