MBX options for dev - and advice for me type poll.

Postby Jinks » Oct 13, 2004 @ 3:03pm

Having noticed all of the MBX software was being written by multi-employed person devs. I thought I'd email PowerVRs dev support first. Basically asking if they accept anyone ;) or if I should make a proof of concept demo for this 3D game idea I have that won't go anywhere without MBX. Also while writing that I'd like to use some stuff so VGA won't suffer in minor programs.

After two weeks mentaly swearing at them they replied to my email. And said sorry for the delay and I should just sign up...

I've looked at OpenGL-ES BREW competition thingy and I think they are sending me it on CD. The best MBX game is StuntCar Extreme that is X-Forge, which I don't see helping with VGA 2D stuff.

I'll probably sign up with PowerVR simply because I think of all the people they deserve royalties ( And I'm so guessing here). They pushed Intel into MBX =

Does anybody think I am doing the wrong thing?
I'm adding a Poll so people who are NDA can vote.

Sorry to anyone who read the thread a few seconds ago I had to delete it to add DirectX to the Poll once I voted.

I don't undertsand the connection between OpenGL ES and BREW. Besides, BREW is a phenomenon quite specific to the US.

Just asking...
