i have to ask him some questions.

So claim you're a dev and then make homebrew!

i wonder how zion even acuired it.

i also wonder what programming launguage this runs in. It says its a game engine and has its own code. So maybe it runs on its own launguage.

I really dont know

Same here.

It uses its own scripting language (VSL).

It is basically a drag and drop interface with support for extra functionality with scripting. (Think Game Maker in 3D and High End).

Looks like they are trying to target small companies/teams like Indies to decrease development costs.

wait do you actually have to order a installation disk?

wish it were a download..

I wonder how does it get accessed through the psp. a eboot???

No, as far as I know this was designed for commercial developers so I be guessing you need the development equipment to run the compiled files properly. I could be wrong and it would be playable in an EBOOT format.

Chances are you can download from their support site but you still need to contact them for a developers' license and possibly an account for the support site.

Won't work. You need to give the name of the company (and they will run background checks), then you need to pay the full license fee to even get your hands on the tool.

Hell, to even get hold of the whitepaper, I need to actually own the company or at least be relatively high up in the ladder.
