OK, I am altering this post because I have performance that is more on par with what it should be ( back to 8800gtx for now!: crossing fingers, and what a headache).

I find the navigation method is very frustrating though in your game, but I look fwd to trying it out soon.

The moving forward is very difficult, because it seems based on gravity or something, instead of precise movement or mouse clicks ? I had a very tough time moving , so I gave up.

If it were me, I would def. use the sponzaFTP as a guide, as that has what I consider wonderful , clean fast navigation, which of course could easily be fitted with a 3rd person view if you prefer. Either way , much easier to move or so I thought anyway. Just FYI.

Cheers

gamemaker : if you have trouble with performance, please create a post in bug report and give some more details, your os etc, we'll try to track it down. In the meanwhile, try to reset your drivers if you changed your 3d card, as you know opengl is very sensitive. And to get the old version of maratis, in the download page, change "current downloads" by "deprecated downloads" and press "search".

Scene: Raid a Cloverfield, Loose a Key!

Captan Sick Beard: PEE!!!! Mr PEE!!
First Mate Pee: Yeees Captan.
Captain Sick Beard: Tie down the Riggins and take her down, I smell mice and where there is mice there's.....
First Mate Pee: Treasure!
Captain Sick Beard: Thats right! TREASURE!!!

...
Narrator: As Captain Sick Beard and Mr Pee descend threw the clouds, the faint glow of lanterns and the slight sound of merry music can be heard from the Town of Clover.

Unfortantly for our mouse friends, who are emersed in the anual town festival they are completly unaware that the Rotten Paw Pirates are about to make a most unwelcome grand entrance.
...

Captain Sick Beard: Extinguish them Lanterns and Prepair the Harpoon Canons Mr Pee I am taking her in slow.
First Mate Pee: Yes Sir Captain

...
Narrator:
-----------------------

Description: The Town of Clover
The Town of Clover is a small farming community, and as you may already have guessed specializes in the farming of clover, But also raises a heard of Dung Beetles for there Delightful Taste and the Anual Dung Beetle Races.

The Town of Clover is inhabited primarly by Field Mice, and the occasional Hare(Rabbit).

-----------------------

In a previous scene our three main characters were attempting to retreave an object stolen from Mr Tobias by the Rotten Paw Pirates. This would be a good opertunity for our main characters to retreve that object and save the town. Then afterwards we could have the Dung Beetle races for an extra special prize and maybe aquire 3 new Dung Beetles for land transportation.

Note: Some extra mini games would be cool. Ring Toss, Archery Shoot, Dung Beetle Races, ...

Note to Self:

1. Look into how we can do rope physics.
2. Look into using a fracture modifier on a mesh and physics to blow stuff up.
3. Look into scripting Partical Effects using the physics engine.

In one of the scenes I had mocked out there was a situaation where you needed to be guided threw a tunnel by
a rabbit named Mr Tobias. Anyways Mr Tobias cant help you untill you retreve something of his that was stolen by a
gang of theving flying squirrels. I wasnt sure then on what the squirrels story was. It obvious now that there "Sky Pirates"
and came up with this Airship.

I cant comprehend an Airship with out some kind of harpoon cannon, so I guess combustion tech is in. To some degree that is.
But Magic in a world with Combustion Tech feels odd to me. Maybe the extent of magic should be as it was in NIMH. An amulet that is used to focus energy.

Here is a Lookout Tower, I noticed after I did it that the ladder is wrong (To wide and not enough steps) the tower its self is 4+ stories high and looks it in Maratis with the other buildings in comparison. But the ladder just looks plain wrong.

I also added a bell to the church, my kids think it looks more like school so I migh be removing the cross call that a school and save the cross for graves or something.
