next-gen. i've seen this attribute put next to almost everything, from the unreal engine 3 to simple demos that only featured normal maps and motion blur. imho it's overused, and the net is over-saturated with next-gen items, not actually differentiating between them. i believe that we should emphasize on what makes horde3d, horde3d. and switch from "next-generation graphics engine" to "shader-based graphics engine" or something similar.

in the end, what i'm saying comes to that we should replace this general marketing term with something that is inherent to horde3d.

Programmers evaluating graphics engines are very rarely going to be pulled in by a catch phrase - some more beautiful samples and demos would be worth considerably more

That's true. Unfortunately I was never good in making really stunning looking demos, so someone else needs to help out there
