The much anticipated release of OpenGL 3.0 was made this week. I wont go into much detail but I would like to point out that OpenGL from a developers standpoint has abandoned the Gaming Platform all-together in lieu of making a better 2.0 i.e 3.0 is not anyhting new at all, it is 2.0 with more extensions.

OpenGL and the backers of this technology have TOTALY failed this community. There is one thing that is clear: DirectX is the King of Gaming.

For some time now I have been working on a game engine and editor for DirectX. Here are some really cool shots from a company that is using the system for various projects. I thought they looked pretty cool so I decided to post them! If you would like to check out the system and start making games head over to Zepa Studios, http://www.zepadev.net

A few months ago I made a post about a World Editor and API system I had written for TV (DirectX 9x API), the Geoworld system.

After getting some great responses and feedback I took some time to make some examples and improvements to the beta and today I am proud to announce the official release of the Geoworld API and the Geonardo World Editor.

I have teamed up with the staff over at Zepa Studios to in order to bring this product to the community with a full pledge of support, upgrades, custom solutions, source code, examples, assets and more.

The Geoworld systems is more than a simple World Editor, its a full blown game making system with Audio and Video playback, the latest Shader technology, World editing tools, built in managers all wrapped in a very powerful API. The systems perfect for proto-typing, game development, landscape visualization and so much more.

Version 1.0 has been released from Zepa Studios and it requires a license for TV3D 6.5SDK.

The evaluation version of the Geoworld API is FREE and there are many pricing packages to fit almost all needs.

Below are a quick list of features and you can grab the software from here: http://sales.zepastudios.com

Once again The Regulators prove that "This shits REAL SON". Our latest adventures have taken us out of the video games and straight into the heart of the terrorist hell that is "IRAQ". The Regulators have long time members scattered throughout the US military forces and today we bring you a special front line report in Baghdad from our man in the field PFC Razer.

"Ok so from 27MAR08 - 11APR08 I had 41 rockets land within 400meters of me. Im not going to get to shoot anyone. My current job is working with milatary intelgence. I get to operate the UAVs once in awhile and I get to make the next to final call for airstrikes, artilary, and ground forces. Im still on the tank once and awhile. I got some pics Ill post.I have called up a couple AWT (Air Weapon Team) that have sent Apaches and got to see some Iraqs take hell fire in the back. Shit is no joke out here but I make it one. I always whistle like there is incoming and get yelled at. O I had a Lob Bomb (Rocket with a wielding tank full of gas and ball bearings) land next to me. Got shrapnal out from a tire about 4 inches from my head. They arent very acurate but 300 ball bearings flying around dont have to be. Ossoi its cool Im bigger than Jesues(Get yelled at all the time for saying that.Guess some people arent imortal like me) I can combat rez myself."

TR is ranked #1 in Iraq and Razer is the #1 PFC in the army currently.

This has been a special front line report from from the War department @ TR. If you would like to support your troops call your congressman or woman today or your senator and tell them that you SUPPORT the troops.
