    The video features a spawner platform. I guess its just some place holder model attached to/located at the spawner script component, but it made me wonder if there is/should be a mechanism to assign a model that is displayed in edit mode only, i.e. to distinguish different spawners or different scripts.

    Also I'd like to ask what format a 3D modelling program should be able to export so the model is usable in FP? .dae? .max? With the upcoming winter sale in mind I was browsing the steam store and stumbled over a program that exports .sia, .sib, .obj, .3ds, .dxf, .fac, .stl, .pov, and .rib. Is any of this usable for FP?

    I had just finalised my plans to make a chinese room type game in fp and now you release this teaser. Sometimes I think you are reading my mind through your games... :D

    FBX. Which should cover any popular 3D modelling package you might care to use, including Blender.

    We've been thinking about models that are only visible in the editor, but we haven't decided on the best way to do it. A few of the options: a flag on the Model component, a new type of component, use a script to delete/hide the Model component when the entity is created, or a visibility setting on an entity.

    From personal experience, visibility was at the base component level in every entity, so you could make any entity viewable in editor, game or not at all. I found that to be very helpful.

    Since i haven't asked you yet:
    Linux Ver ETA?
    Other than that, looking like this is growing quite well.
