Hi,

Just a quick note to say the commercial pc versions of raptor(Now synthesis 3dmax) has been released for the price of 25 dollars.

Just to be clear, the psp version will remain freeware, but if you'd like to be able to quickly test your code on pc/mac/lniux you might like to consider the commercial package, which includes support for pc/mac/linux(Using sdl) and also a BlitzMax version.

I was going to make the pc version free too, but I've just been hit with a phone bill so I have no choice, sorry.

I would pay if i was a coder of 3D games lol, but when your coding a emulator I dont need this (Oooops did I just hint something there haha)

25 dollars is quite alot thought for a program really aint it?

Actually its 25 Great Britain Pounds, as clearly stated, and thats will make it 50 bucks (as clearly stated).
Nice addition to PSP library though. :)

Sorry. But that is like the lamest excuse for paying for software that has been released :)

Is anyone even attempting a PSP game with this?

50 bucks per sale then eh? a phone bill is no wheres near being a fraction of a questionable reason to charge that much. jeez... we're lookin at 50, 60+ hours a day (....;)) on the phone to make that a non profit sale.

this thing is really coming along

I would also like to agree with the opinion that someone's phone bill is the lamest reason to charge for homebrew. I personally don't care if he charges for his software, it's his work, and I'm not buying it, but that's just a dumb excuse.

Dude, just tell us you want to make some cash. Its not as if the phone bill is a result of your programming this software. If it somehow were, then the relation between the two would be relevent. Otherwise you didn't need to put in that little justification. I'm going to be suddenly overwhelmed with empathy and buy the software because I feel sorry for your expensive phone bill. Start text messaging. It'll save you a buck or two.
