[game_edu] CreyEngine in Collages

[David Wessman]

We've installed it and will start using it this summer at the University of
Advancing Technology. We actually have a variety of different game authoring
tools (Torque, Dark Game Studio, XNA) as well as a number of different
editors (UE3, Warcraft3, G.E.C.K., etc.)

Our philosophy is that students should be familiar with a number of
different tools, not just for games in different genres, but also within a
single genre. Each game engine / toolset has it's own strengths and
weaknesses, and it's very valuable for students to make comparative analyses
based on actual experience.

Many of them are shocked to discover just how unstable, poorly documented,
and horribly difficult to use many of the "industry standard" tools are. One
nice benefit of this approach is the increased interest that our programming
majors acquire for tools development!
