Yes Timdorr I believe Matt has a lot of work on at the moment and I have seen IP Dyanamic and it looks pretty good... I am not one for shouting my mouth off (well some times) but, I think this could take over some of the products like PHNuke and Virtuanews... Although both of these products are first class IP Dynamic is a sound product and you will be able to produce a front-end site with ease.

Actually, Matt's the only one that codes it. And he's doing both IPB 2.1 and IPDynamic 1.0 at the same time :o

    • I know I won't ever be using it to make my game. I'd rather pay real humans.
    • Nah. For every indie dev that needs to create code for "stuff" or textures, it's a godsend enabler to possibly tackle a project that you may not otherwise. The end result and testing will tell the truth if everything works or doesn't, or a game is just mediocre slop, but now these tools are now there and it's the developer's duty to judge the outcome, and even more so for pro studios. And you gotta remember that they will be at an early stage.
    • whoosh my comment went over your head. Enjoy your notchless 3:2 OLED device
    • As a game dev, today was really depressing. They announced that Blueprints will be deprecated in UE6 to be fully replaced by their sh**ty Python-like Verse language... They also announced that 5.8 will be the last version of UE5 until UE6 comes out in MID 2029!!!! They have completely lost the plot.
