I have been waiting for this moment.
I feel soooo

It really depends on the scale of what he wants to make and what he's comfortable with IMO. I think most people know my opinion of B3D by now so I'll refrain from boring you all.

was wondering if ever in the 1.0 update, they fix the pocket dimension a bit

Nope, I won't be using Blitz3D anymore. I've been looking into Unity, but I'm not really a fan of the component-based architecture (I guess I could get used to it after a while...) and I'm worried that some of the features I've planned for the game (lots of procedurally generated content and possibly online multiplayer) might prove to be too tedious to achieve with Unity. So now I'm leaning towards writing my own engine using C# and probably Monogame + some other libraries.

Sorry but there won't be any major changes/additions to the pocket dimension. The only difference is that now the probability of getting teleported out of there is slightly higher.

Lua script engine Lua script engine Lua script engine Lua script engine Lua script engine

If we take for example SCP:CB, if the room events were programmed via external script, you could easily mod in new rooms if the map generation were also done via external script.

Lua is just a personal preference of script language but any works

Interesting......

Have you added that document i sent you a few months ago yet?

missing up on too many updates, v1.0 will be interesting to go through.

Welcome to the club!

I'm interested in how you write games in OOP languages; especially since that was one of my biggest problems with Blitz. Though, that's because I hate procedural languages that aren't C.

Lua is probably best, it has arguably the easiest wrappers to use.
