Dunno if that is what you're asking for, but i'm using this in most of my projects,

A Color list :
so i can change light or text color with : setLightColor(Light, COLOR.purple)

and a Keylist, by pure lazyness ; for example instead of writing isKeyPressed("G"), onKeyDown("G"), onKeyUp("G")
i can just write G.press, G.down, G.up

Well all the genres you listed are doable, but i think it should be best to stick to closed environments because of the current limitations ;

1) Light limitations
2) Exporter limitations (can't export a scene with each individual object being exported as its own mesh)

So for RPG/Adventures games (big landscape) you will probably need to fill the scene with all kind of objects, not a great idea atm.

FPS, Third person, even platformer would work best imo, with small scale, polished environements.

for example, RE4 Prototype

I wished everything

well if you can pack this:
-sponza level
-your character (blender file not essential if you dont want to upload it)
-sounds
-fonts
-movement/camera scripts you already made

that will be great

Thank you
well, most of the examples i make are quite clunky,
i think it will do more harm than good for maratis to have them exposed there

I replaced the first example with something a bit better, very basic but well it works

Pretty nice, the voice is better than expected (i tried some text 2 speech apps on my side, it was awful)

That's insane indeed ^^

imo a started pack should not be over 50mo or 100mo at the very max,
even in 50 mega you can put a lot of stuff
but for the pack i suggest to provide only what people really need to make experiments,
like a fully animated character (here i suggest making use of Clint Bellanger's platformer animations as main character, it's about perfect for that purpose

+ few environments (theres is alot of these on blender swap)
+ different types of controls and differents camera views

for scripts, personnaly i prefer scripts in very small, isolated examples, where you have -only- what's needed to run the example, so you don't get confused by all the other stuff around, and can easily copy/adapt it to your needs if you wish,
i think it will be chaos if you use a single project to show multiple completely different things, but that's just me

for sounds, maybe it will be best to provide like 10 sounds of each "universe" (see below)
and class them like this, or something :

UNIVERSE > OBJECT TYPE > SOUND ACTION

example :

Scifi_door_open
Scifi_door_close
Scifi_gui_click
Scifi_gui_cursor_move
Scifi_explosion_EMPgrenade

Medieval_door_open
Medieval_gui_click
Medieval_explosion_barrel

Retro_jump
Retro_shoot_laser
Retro_shoot_shotgun

etc..

will be even better if they are all at the same gain and all ready for 3D use so
people won't have to struggle with the settings

Hello, I believe it's totally possible yes, this post might answer you better :

oops i made a mistake, you don't need getObject nor getName to deactivate the clones in cloneList,
deactivate(cloneList[number]) is enough,

getName is to use with SetBehaviorVariable
example, setBehaviorVariable(Camera, 0, "target", "cloneList[number]") : won't work, it's here
you have to getObject/getName

Crazy timing

Hi, i went the safe way and directly used both techniques

hehe thanks

I had some trouble setting-up everything but now it's all good, i can spawn projectiles
just like in the gameplay video on the first post without any frame drop

Also, anael i'm gonna add your explanations about clones on the wiki if you don't mind,
that's some important infos imo

Cheers !
