Plus, most coders are wary of non coders telling them what can be technically done and what cannot. Usually triggers an automatic reflex of shooting down these ideas. I know, I am not better than that. lol. But, in defense of us coders, usually we are right with these things, but exceptions occur off course.
Also, like stated above, Dread is kind of proof that his over the top ideas were not possible. I mean, it's kind of crazy this thing exists, and in no way I would have thought this could be achieved. Yet, this is still a bit away from what Miggy4eva thought would be possible.

I'm confused, surely you mean Dread IS proof what that guy was after can be done? As d4rk3lf suggests below.

(and let's not forget Britelite amazing demo of CyberWolf, that also runs very fast on A500) |
But I get what you are saying BTW even though I think there was no harm to the guy dreaming big (and that's good people do otherwise there would be no developments) which is why personally I would just go (and I see it a lot) "hey guys why doesn't someone make this type of game with would amazing..............blah blah blah"
Anyways off topic again, but Dread is defo a boundary breaker and the work being done is fantastic. Very grateful people still bother with this platform in all the ways that they do.
