Built around the Irrlicht Engine, 3D CakeWalk has the power and the tools to help develop professional games. With the add sound system, scripting system, multiplayer system and editor you can almost create anything in a 2D/3D application. |

| 3DCW Good Deal |
I would like to start off by saying this is a great tool, worth every penny. My team and I had the privilege of beta testing 3DCW and it was an experience. It is relatively easy to use, and very powerful.
We have not tested the editor under the Irrlicht engine but look forward to it. This will be a great engine and I am sure this will be a great tool for the armature and the pro's.

| game development system - under development |
3D CakeWalk aims to be a complete game creation system.
It includes: an easy to use click-and-drag, a 3D editor, a 3D engine (uses the modern Irrlicht engine), scripting, sound and multiplayer system.
It will natively support many standard 3D formats.
It uses octree hence it can represent or import complex scenes and models very easily.
The system is under development, a beta should be available in December.
The distinctive feature is intended to be simplicity combined with stability and portability: the system is planned to be multiplatform (Windows/Linux, later on Mac and Xbox).
A very promising system ! |

| is this a joke? nice how team and friends wrote reviews here. :) this is an incomplete and bad try of tinkering something together with the irrlicht engine. don't spend any money on this! better use irrlicht directly! |
