Does anyone have an opinion of PyGame vs Soya? I'm reading through the Soya documentation and it seems pretty well fleshed out whereas pygame has always seemed a little clunky to me.

Does anyone have a good resource of free game friendly models? I've tried :google: but everything I find is high vertex stuff.

Do you want to learn how to implement games or do you want to make games? The answer will affect what people recommend — programming languages and libraries, versus engines and programs like Game Maker.

Check out Unity 3D. The newest version adds support for windows. It's not free but there is a 30 day trial and an indy license is only 200 dollars.

I've been trying this out as well now that it supports authoring on windows. Its very handy for simple stand alone games and is about the only reasonable game in town for browser 3d games. Short of requiring someone to DL a plugin for each game.

I didn't think I'd like it at first but after about a week of working with it (only a couple hours a night) I've got the basic framework of an RTS going. I'm leaning very heavily towards picking up the license once the trial runs out.
