I just found this recently and for those who are unaware, something's new and cooking up with the ol Blitz3D and Blitzplus on GitHub from BRL..

Is there still hope?..

Just looks like the old versions set up for a newer version of 'Studio to me.

The previous version of b3d was broken the last time I tried to install it. The new version works again.

Now this *is* a bit odd..
If Mark 'ditched' and fell out of love with this baby and basically doesn't really like people to cling onto it, then why-oh-why would he release this latest one? [puzzled]

..rule of thumb is, don't try to make sense out of BRL business decisions..

I am sure it is Simon trying stuff.

I am sure it is Simon trying stuff.

That's what I'm thinking also.

[Rick Nasher]

It's a bit 'Simonic'..

Nope, I take that back. Wasn't Simon.

See, you just can't keep a good thing down. Blitz3D compiling in Visual Studio 2017 - most awesome ness. Call me a fan boy if you like - it's steeped in hours of endless gratification with the best 3D tool on the block.

I don't think it was intended to be backwards compatible (again), so kind of a double edged sword.
