Topic: Is Maratis development Dead?

Hi All,

I just wondered if the development of Maratis is dead?  I may have this wrong, but it seems like the last major amend to the software was last year???   It would a very sad to see.  I think the developer has made a wonderful job of an effective, no nonsense 3D game engine!  Maratis is great!!!!

I really hope the answer is no, and that this software has a longivity of life.

Many thanks for your time.

Hi,

The binaries have not been updated on the downloads page for about a year, but the svn source code was updated last month.
So I would say it is still in active development. I personally run the current source compiled version 230. Happy to see another new user that loves Maratis.

You can see development progress here:

Hi and welcome !

yes, the binaries should really be updated, I'll try to do something soon, the new experimental branch for the future version of Maratis was more work than I taught, with a lot of code rewrite.

Re: Is Maratis development Dead?

Thanks!  That's great news!  I have played around with many of the 3D game engines and each one has been a major disappoint to me.  I did a recent search for something new, and Maratis came up, and I thought it might be worthy of a try.  Straight away I was impressed by it's simplicity!

In terms of background I am a Landscape Architect and urban designer based normally in the UAE (Dubai and Abu Dhabi).  I'm looking for a very simple engine that I can give to a client and say:  "go for a spin and tell me if we are on the right track!"

I'm not quite ready to do any postings, but I hope to share when I have learnt more of the fundamentals to build all.

I really think you have something very special here.  It would be sad to see it flounder!  Just try and provide water into the equation, since I will have a hard time to convince clients without some type of water feature (lakes, ponds etc) element.
I'm assuming with the particles it is theoretically possible, but I have yet to see an example on the forums.  (If I'm missing something here, please direct me to the right place).

Many kind thanks for your efforts.  I will check out the SVN.
