Post by: inc. on April 26, 2018: Hi folks,

- support for sound
- logo effects
- 3d effects

Hi,
no, MP3D is dead. I do no longer use it.

this new Maker will only base on PureBasic Code. Later it will have a option to export all the creation as SourceCode for own and further coding in PB. (but will also have exe export to demo ;) )

Post by: Raccoon on May 23, 2018: This looks promising. I had considered producing a similar tool earlier this year, but never got around to it.
Keep up the good work. :)

Title: Re: Introducing a first Look
Post by: Raccoon on May 30, 2018: Will you be making this tool open source at some point? Just curious.

Anyway, I'll be looking forward to the initial release that produces usable code. It's looking to be a convenient little time saver.
I really like being able to adjust the various values and see how it looks so quickly and easily.

Post by: aNdy on May 31, 2018: What Raccoon said.

Improving in functionality and features all the time. Great job!

i think yes, it could be a open source project. latest if i'm heavy stuck :D looking forward.. and yes, later it would be possible to export the settings into PureBasic SourceCode.

I've uploaded a newer Version.
