Hey i just wanted to announce a game project i have been working on 
recently. It started as a student project and what u can see on the 
screenshots of our website  is the state we reached in just 3weeks of work.

ok well i posted the announce in this newsgroup basically because it is 
completely written in D from scratch. i also have to confess that i used 
D2.003 which btw. worked perfectely fine for me (yes i used the new 
const). yes it could have been dangerious, but i think in that cause i 
would have been able to convert it to D1.x back again. Anyway it worked 
without a bigger problem(just the one Bug that makes compiling with 
(O)ptimization impossible [bugzilla #1437] which is the same for the 
D1.x series).

So from now on i am perfectly sure that D has a great future in 
realtime-simulation programming, cause with FAR less effort(in 
comparisson to C++ which i have to code for years and in my job) i was 
able to put together:

- a super scalable networking engine
->supporting reliable messages aswell as unreliable fast sent messages

- a graphics engine that is completely OOP and still damn fast. (based 
on OGL)

- complete platform indipendent system. which compiled without any 
adjustments on Linux on first try.

- best structured engine ever cause i was able to write templates first 
time in my life cause in D i actually understood it.

- .... i could go on like forever i just fell in love with D even more... ;)

so please take a look on the homepage and the screenshots and be patient 
with the Demo i will upload in the next days.

i am looking forward for some feedback.
