Free 3D Software with Game Development Kit

Hi there. This blog has taken a break, but new posts will come up again occasionally. I start over with a 3d graphic software, which has already been mentioned in the article The next big Thing, 3D Monitors and Virtual Reality.

It concerns the 3d software Blender, which is open source and free. This free software too includes game development tools, which enable to develop 3d games. Further information is available by the following article:

Another Game Development Project

A different game development project has been started by BigPoint, which is an established portal for browser based games. BigPoint has launched a community for professional game developers called BigPoint DevLounge.

I wonder what is the reason for this step, which has to be described as strategic. Might it be the increasing competition by game developer communities, is it a way to reduce costs or to broaden the offering?

Mobile Game Creation Software

A new mobile game software and portal had been launched by Mo'Minis. The service offers a free software for the creation of mobile games. The software enables both laities and professionals to easily design games, which are compatible with various mobile platforms and may be shared at the homepage or directly with friends. Other services are awards and a forum. The software is available for Windows XP and Vista. Further information is available by the faq of the homepage and by video tutorials.
