There is a new commercial engine currently in development called visual3d.net that is built upon the old OGRE libraries but is converted to C#.
It has a fully integrated GUI IDE with lots of features, but is still very buggy and also combersome in some areas. Ive also been following its progress for the past 4 months, and release dates for beta 3.4 (now called beta 4) keeps getting pushed back repeatedly, with the same disclaimer each time ("we wont push it back any further, we promise" (not an exact quote)).
Does anyone else on these forums have any thoughts about this engine, and its suitability for low-budget indie projects?

I don't know about this engine in practice, but it looks like it may become a good one in the future.

Not a horrible engine, but they do love to market very aggressively, with lots of "creative" claims. It's like when all companies in an industry all claim they are a "market leader".

Hi all. I'm the guilty one who made those posts about "we're going to be on time!" Software is hard, and gets delayed. We're going to get better at this eventually, once we hit version 1.0.
Since this post was made (Beta 3.4!), we're now on Beta 6.3, and about to release Beta 7.0! Version is is targeted for February 2010 (and trying not to slip it)!
The beauty of Visual3D is that we're now the leading game engine on the market that is pure .NET/C#, allowing you to program games in C#/.NET out-of-box, with all of the thrilling productivity gains of Visual Studio with breakpoints, Inspections, and even "Edit and Continue!" You can fix bugs run-time without interruption! It's amazing.
The graphics and shader pipeline are amazing with built in Material and Model Editors. It's a must see. We've got a December promotional deal for half-price, this month only.
Visual3D can be downloaded from our website here.
Please come see us, and try for yourself. With Beta 6.x, the Terrain editing has become supremely usable with video and written tutorials to accompany it.
