I'm very happy with Blitz3d as it stands and I haven't even downloaded the 1.85 update yet !
I can understand the frustration caused by the 'phantom' product BlitzMax. All the confusion is caused by poor communication - the worklogs don't even have a date ! Any reference to BlitzMax is vague in the extreme. There is no proposed release date or even approximation.
BlitzMax seems to be too far away to be real. I remenber when the product was announced years ago there was a whole load of people who would be working on various parts of it.
Terabit e.g was supposed to be working on the IDE - this seems to have fallen by the wayside.
I don't care if BlitzMax exist or not or is just an idea in the programmers head - if it does exist I will probably purchase it and I'm sure it will be wonderful - however the constant diatribe that BlitzMax will be the panacea for all ills is wearing a bit thin.
I will continue to use Blitz3d till something better comes along - currently there is nothing better !
