Looks promissing!

The beta has examples and it is free atm. I will try to post more, I just downloaded it.


Pretty cool to make your own 360 games.

The gui is pretty cool!

Wow this is actually pretty nice..

Agreed, this looks very promising, especially for a Beta 1.

I couldn't get it to do anything at all.

this looks awesome, i havent used yet for one reason: you have to install so much stuff!

First you install VC# 2005, then you install a patch, then xna, then .net, THEN you can install the actual program.However, from what I can see, this looks like it could be a great engine, and xbox 360 support plus great indie liscensing options are a great feature.
I highly suggest you look into this, I'll post more about it once I finish installing

So far it looks like Gamemaker meets torque(in a good way)

I had the pre release and i would have to say this is very promising. If you wanna port your game to the 360 i would say this is the best way.

never used but I got the impression that Blade is that kind of bloated game engines which make too much for you
It is not a critic just I prefer the "essential" engines 
What do you think ?

right now it is a little bloated, but if you got your impression from torque, dont worry, its not near that bad. for an industry preview its really good, but it still leaves something to be desired, definitely needs more control in full release.
