GalacticGlum Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 I just found this a few days ago and I'm surprised at least from my knowledge why it hasn't been mentioned on here before.It's quite like Eclipse but is in C#. It is sadly not under development anymore but is nonetheless quite a nice engine.After using it for a few days I can say it is really nice and a solid engine :)Anyways just wanted to make a mention of this engine!Links:[Main Website](http://www.netgore.com)[GitHub Page](https://github.com/spodii/netgore)[YouTube Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4Dh7iQv1fE) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abhi2011 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 From what I've heard people say, NetGore was a poorly written Engine. Even though it had features, it's codebase wasn't good and hence, wasn't very successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyce Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I always found Netgore's codebase confusing, really. Everything is all over the place. It's not all that poorly written though.I think the main problem was that it focussed on sidescrolling games though, every other engine was a regular ol' top down system and this was completely different. Not nearly as many resources around (cough rpg maker cough) for sidescrolling games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genusis Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Spodi did such a horrible job on netgore that he himself couldn't fix it up. Its one of the few reasons he discontinued the engine. Other than that net gores been around for a few years since the end of vbgore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GalacticGlum Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 Has it? Just found it now.. I didn't seem to find any problems then again it was only a few days I did look through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeNjO Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I used VBGore then tried netgore, Completely agree with the other posts that its been out many years and Spodi discontinued the engine because it was that inefficient at doing its job that he just stopped work on it. Still have my vbgore project :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GalacticGlum Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 Ahh. Didn't know the majority of Eclipse known what NetGore is xD As it's never been mentioned (from my knowledge) on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyce Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 It comes up every now and then, generally speaking we ignore it or discussions like this crop up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a bit too much for the average Eclipsian to grasp.Well the last time I tried out netGore, I wasn't good at C# or programming in general. I never did test it out (apart from just compiling it), nor did I go through the code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Bloatware. Tons of redundancies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dialectics Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I'm laughing. I mean, have any of you looked at Eclipse's source code recently? I mean, honestly? Netgore's source is bad, but there are only one or two people here who have the authority to make such a judgement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genusis Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I'm actually one of the few who can say that. I helped make MS4 but we never finished it. Also eclipse was poorly designed form the get go when using MS4 as a base. All the packets got messed with and none of which was really any improvements. Then they added dynamic maps which was stupid to begin with they should have done seamless instead. Yes seamless does take a little more effort but its a much better overall system than one huge map which can be anywhere from i believe it was 3kb smallest map size to 4mb which is max map size with a few basic layers. Anyways me a spodi use to talk a crap ton about all this stuff and he did at least try to improve and make net-gore cleaner before completely giving up on it.I won't say mirage is perfect, because i know its far from it. I also won't say eclipse is any better because in all honesty it is worse. Overall though netgore is much much worse than eclipse. The only advantage it gives you is that it was done in a language which can utilize threading and newer rendering libraries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
