Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/The best BMax games\apps

If you were going to show someone who was thinking about buying BMax and wanted to show them what the language could do what games\apps would you recommend?

Off the top of my head.

Fairway Solitaire
Eschalon: Book I

@markcw, I agree with your choices....

I agree with those as well.

CubeZ :)

Those two games are cross-platform as well which helps to sell BMax. Eschalon even has a Linux version. Depends what the person is into though as if they are into shooters you'll have to find one of those glowing line games, and if they are into platformers then there's no hope ;-)

hmm blitzmax still 2d? I am yet to to be blown away.
Though i wish the package well:)

Gridwars2, Eschalon, AtomHex, IncaQuest,... but i would be interested to know which apps are beeing made with BlitzMax.

What taumel said and that "runes of avalon" was pretty polished too.

Actually Runes of Avalon 2 is probably a better example. It's also on Mac and Linux.

This will be developed in BlitzMax? If so which 3D engine is beeing used here?

Dont forget eschalon is on all too :D

his own custom one, in blitzmax

Okay, so i guess a DX/WIN only thing?

Yeah I already said that higher up. I meant that RoA 2 is a better example than RoA 1 :-)

You might want to show them some of the samples from Bmax and, possibly, some less well know games.

Youropa, has Freborg confirmed that he is using BMax for this then?

Thanks all for the suggestions.

Well he said Gile[s] is going to Mac and Win but not Linux, so if the 3d engine, the lightmapper and the language are both working on both, I'd say a good chance that he plans the same for the game.
