I'm not sure you can do the security camera idea, but do you mean 3rd person style camera, on the other idea? RF does that.

ok this is getting very tiring can someone suggest to me a game engine that offers a full version tryout with the option of paying to publish the game that is made

the price must be under $10,000 im not paying more than that and it must have a full-version to where i can build the game with out having to pay but if i want to sell then i must pay

any help would be very helpful thank you in advance for your help

ok i said free full-version not something i have to pay for just to try im not going to waist money on something that i wont like

and not on a timed trial either that does not give me enough time to test every aspect of the game engine

It has a fully functional demo. You just don't get documentation. If you have $10,000 what is $150 to spend?

would you spend 150 dollars on something then find out that it was a waste of money

and i said i want a game engine that is full-version with the option of paying to sell final product not to pay to use the engine and it would cost me $1495.00 if i wanted to buy it but i dont want to buy it i want to develop the game first then if i want to i will by the license and sell the game but im not going to spend that kind of money just to find out it was a wast of time

and 30 days is not long enough to test out all the functions of a game engine that takes at least a 6-12 months to understand most of the program and what it can do and what it cant do

They have fully functional free version which doesn't time out, but will not create an executable.

Hey, that's right. And Panda3D was used by Disney for their online toontown, so it's been proven at the professional level as well.

That's terrific, bradford. Best of luck to you. If, you'll notice, BV is headed up by The Gekido Design Group. Gekido formerly being the lead promoter of RF.
