BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Programming/DirectX required

yeah, most of the paid work I do with blitz isn't really for indie games, and I don't think I'd make something that didn't target a Geforce 3 or higher as a recommended video card. and certainly not lower than a geforce 2 unless it was part of the conditions of my contract. Just takes the fun out of making games and leaves you with better things to do to make money.

Having the flexibility you want is my main concern, and GL has pretty poor art tool support for higher end features. Even ATI and Nvidia tools don't support GL very well for game dev.

Besides which 95% of blitz users are mostly trying to have fyun and be crative rather than make money selling indie games.
