As an owner of B3D and BMax, I was very disappointed with BMax. It felt that to get few more features, we took a major step back by removing 3D portion of it.

Unless I own Linux or Mac or I want to develop for all three systems, I have no use for BMax, B3D does it just fine with it's 2D functionality. And Windows game development is at least 90% of any market. For the sake of the 10%, we removed 3D?

I perfectly understand the difficulties in developing an engine such as BMax. Mark has to know that this is not a put down on his coding skills.

But, after all is said and done, I have already published a game made in BMax. And for that, I am very grateful.
