Waterfall Woods: Best 3D Flash Game

I dare say that I just played the Best 3D Flash Game — visually that is. ^^ It is called Waterfall Woods, developed by Protopop.

Who would have known that the game is powered by Sandy3D? Yes, Sandy3D not Papervision or anything. I know Sandy’s development died when kiroukou, the only active developer, left. Still, Flash Game Developers opt to use Sandy3D — of all Flash 3D API. Baffles you, eh? — not me.

Being a member of their community some long months ago, I’ve witnessed just how active the community is. Sandy3D not only promotes open source but also the free culture of people sharing knowledge.

I left Sandy to pursue Papervision which has a lot more functionalities to offer. And I saw just how different the community is. IMO, Papervision is so commercialized that you could only learn the advanced functionalities by attending hands-on seminars held by the development team, or study the source code which is what I’ve been doing.

To the developers of Waterfall Woods, congratulations for a job well done!
