Like the idea of a simple networking and paid workshop would be a great addition.

Sounds like a good Business Plan.

 

What's the plan for the engine besides the networking?

A lot of the functionality I was wanting was done this year which I'm grateful for.

 

I'm hoping for an OSX build, Substance Support, and hope we see the return of the Terrain Tessellation. Networking will be a real nice addition and looking forward to that.

Overall, I want Leadwerks to become more like a moddable game, without losing the simplicity and flexibility we have to make anything.

 

Yep, this is why I stuck with Source over the years. There was a collection of assets, and code to modify and tweak.

I really like the idea of easy to use networking. Also, making Leadwerks like a moddable game is great! It would be awesome to see everyone modding each others games.

 

Some things I would like to see in the future are improvements to water (allow multiple planes of any size, easier to tweak graphic values, rivers!), physics improvements, LOD support for normal entities (animated characters,buildings, etc.), and more shader tutorials.

 

I've been really impressed and happy with the new features, keep up the great work Josh!

Networking would be awesome! Any plans for performance analysis tools? I've really struggled with this the last few months with little progress. Formal documentation for best practices for performance would be nice too(Unless it already exists?). The Vectronic performance discussion was great but you have to dig around and I don't feel it's complete.

I'm hoping for future vulkan support.

Please bring back the dynamic navigation.

I'd like more navigation commands like Destination reachable. Also the option for Ai to climb walls to elevated nav areas.

I'd just like the navigation system to not go back and forth when it reaches it's destination and instead stop cleanly.

Mac platform supports ? and new UI system maybe ?

about content,

what i am missing in rapid level design & developing.

drop a car and it act as a car after select the wheels/doors/steering wheel.

drop a character and its act as a character.

character commands like put object in hand. ch.jump, ch.knee, ch.run, ch.walk.

drop a house in and just select the windows/doors/lights

and it act as a house including collision.

means a high level management to save time and fits the daily needings of most games.

Like a prefab system?

I'm actually afraid to make my prefabs more than a model + script.The prefab imo system needs improvements to accommodate for texture cords for brushes along with other error prevention.

 

It would be great if you can load buildings, rooms, and other contraptions without any hiccups which I ran into in the past.

I would settle for this. I wouldn't even need any new features for a while.
