I would like to know if Niko has any plans on updating CC6 at all... and can he post what issues he is working on in CopperCube....its his baby after all.....dont let it die please Niko....

I'm pretty sure Irrlict has new functions made by others that you can easily incorporate into CopperCube...

He obviously plans on updating it... Why be so dramatic?

The version of Irrlicht which CC uses is based on version 1.5 but it has a number of modifications / additions. I asked him some time ago if incorporating something like 1.8 (latest stable version) would be worthwhile and he said it wouldn't since in a few ways his version of 1.5 beats 1.8.

Adding community-created stuff from Irrlicht would likely cause issues since CC's a paid product and he'd probably need to either get permission from the team or pay them royalties. I don't know how to explain it clearly, but I'm sure you know where I'm getting at...

Anyways, he's said at least a few times in the past that he doesn't give release dates or details on upcoming updates so asking him this question is pointless.

I saw the old roadmap - I'm fairly sure its been like that for over a year now... I wasnt aware he said he wont give any updates so whats the roadmap for then if that's true?...clearly he does ...a bit...

Also the licence doesn't even require you to acknowledge you use the software so no, no royalties are due whatsoever as it is free and open source. All work to irrLicht by any others is free also as part of the licence conditions.

I have noticed irrLicht has sky domes while CC just has cube maps. Also DX 11 seems to be working and some have even done a lot of work into Vulcan support amongst other things.

The lack of communication is what is my concern. I don't know why we even have a future requests section when I have read many that were on Niko's to do list list 8 years ago and still nothing..

There's various forum posts and responses he made on his Twitter account where he specifically says he doesn't give release dates for future updates or even details on what's to come.

Right, that makes sense. I was insanely tired when I typed up the response. haha. You're right. My bad.

Yeah, I saw some work was being done in regards to Vulkan support. Hopefully it gets ported to CC someday, or is implemented by Niko...

Niko's a slow developer, just like the S2Engine developer. They promise stuff and it tends to come to light but only a number of years later
