So tell us who are the best/most accomplished/whatever in Blender’s Game engine.
I think first is obvious - Social
the second might be Blendenzo
and the third… I havent decided.
He-blend is at the moment developing the best GE games, both graphically and conceptually.
p00f is making the most playable games.
Oh yeah, and p00f is the third!
Shouldn’t this be in off topic?
Well, I nominate Dim as number 3 
I dont mind taking #4…
all my games are Code free for a reason…
I want to help out the Noobies to make a small playable game.
and uhhhh… I want to help in aiding World peace
have a good day guys, thanks for the smile
thanks guys, that is a great honor for me,
braveheart - helps out quite a bit
roja - just as a game artists using blender to create content, not for GE though.
snailrose - all around help with things.
we are missing some of the old guys who don’t frequent as much… or at all
z3ro_D - something like that
wiseman303
Thanks p00f, but unlike your self, I haven’t actually ever produced a game that I’ve shared with the community, given that I do almost purely graphical work, and I also focus mainly on tutorials and education.
And Jesse is right, I haven’t seen a lot of the really experienced people around in a while.
And by the way, I nominate Blengine and OTO way above my self.
man how did i forget OTO. Great tutorials. Dim also appreciate your tuts. You’ve got me interested in terragen for content creation.
spike1907 - knowledgeable on all sorts of opengl and i bet directx, and a bunch of other stuff…( has changed his user name, but does not post often enough for me to remember his new userid)
tomorrowman - always has interesting projects
fireside - has experimented with lots of different things so he’s got lots of good advice
and where is z3ro d he’s our forum mod. But I haven’t seen him post since my lurking days.
There are at least 100 or so people infront of me.
z3r0_d instantly comes to mind as the grand sensei.
Peter for “Hell Castle”
OTO of course.
Saluk & Doogs would be the pioneers in my book.
Also, I think PlantPerson is one of the most underappreciated developers in the community. The zark games deserve alot more attention than people give it (actually I think some of that stuff can be blamed on version transition bugs when bullet was first implemented, probably made things harder to move to the next version and continue the zark craze). Still, very good developer.
There have been many, many people around who were much, much more acomplished than me or probably anyone else that will post here. Those guys probably moved on to bigger and better things by now though.
Just like saluk went to straight C and OGRE.
Oh, and I forgot Scabootssca. He’s been kicking around for awhlie and has made some really great stuff. I still use his mouslook script.
Goodness yes! how did I forget Scabootssca!
He helps me out on the IRC sometimes
Id say p00f for #3
Definitely
z3r0_d
wiseman303
Oopz
TankC
:DAll those guys that got me started and constantly learning.
There’s a lot more other guys along the way. I wouldn’t say whose the most accomplished. Those guys are definitely pretty much the most knowledgeable then and now.
=P Accomplished is too vague I guess. Hehe, I have a slew of other guys I respect and considered pretty accomplished in the GE.
Jason Lin
heh!
I am talking to
z3r0_d
wiseman303
Oopz
TankC
right now on the IRC Oopz is the one who has helped me out the most when I was new.
I would say he is “#1 in my book”,
But i feel like my opinion might be a little tainted
The rest of the IRC crowd on #gameblender helped me out from time to time too…
with blender, and some nice people to listen to my stupid wife jokes.
Here is an Ode to you guys
Chaser(somewere around #10) - He doesnt post much but trust me hes does osme crazily good tests
Saluk - play cdo and you will understand
Social Has Cowbow Hatt Yeargh
Social, you just made my day. Thanks.
I nominate you for the list, too, because of the FPS template and Python tut.
I also forgot to nominate TomorrowMan & co with their “painted” game (I forget the name of it). Truly cool graphics.
What you said about the original Zark game gets me thinking… perhaps I should re-make the old one with Bullet physics and a new control system…
yeah Zark was cool accept I can’t get it to work on the version I have
my 300 gb hardrive is just so disorganized I didn’t bring myself to install yet another version of blender so I could play it lol
WTF??! Nobody has mentioned Luma or anyone else in the Club Silo development team. That’s the best Blender game to date (speaking in graphic terms).
Edit:
Also, STELLA was very helpful when I was starting with the BGE. I wouldnt say he’s the most accomplished but he does help out a lot in the forums. I dont know where he is now though, i havent seen him post in a good long while.
I nominate Doc Holiday. It amazes me that no one has mentioned him yet.
Also, I agree with VenomSevenX. Erwin, Luma and herman.tulleken have done more to make the BGE “respectable” to the rest of the Blender community than anyone else to date.
