or even worse *that it switched engines*.... that would just suck.

Well, at least I would be understanding

If they rename it 'Lived Forever' prepare to buy a BluRay disk drive for your PC and an uber graphics card, "when it's done".

lmao

Actually, that happened a long time ago already... at least going by what sebcrea said some time ago.

Actually it would've been good of they would've started on another engine like TGEA.

So is this game dead or what?

TGEA was released earlier this year, and this project is several years old, so they couldn't have started with that engine.

At the time GameStudio wasn't a bad choice for what they were doing, obviously now there are quite a few options for shooter games.

I checked their site, nothing. It's probably dead or delayed, or worse yet, moving at a slug's pace. *shrugs*

true, except for the part about A6, it wouldn't be able to handle this game at a decent fps. I've discovered these things when developing PreVa. They could've started with regular torque though.

about their website though, it doesn't really have anything but a flash object that shows a pic of one of the characters and the logo of this game :P . I'm also curious about the project.

"true, except for the part about A6, it wouldn't be able to handle this game at a decent fps. I've discovered these things when developing PreVa. They could've started with regular torque though."

I never saw anything in there demo that i havent personally had a6 run with at a decent speed.... not that it doesnt take a lot of optimization but like i said, I've on my own gotten the same type and amount of objects in a6 at a decent frame rate, and im talking about for decent video cards, like an nvidia late 6 series or at x1300 or above.

A6 can be fast if you know how to take it to it's limits without breaking it... Rarely anyone here really pushed A6 to it's visual limits, but Sebcrea was mostly doing just that.

I believe he did complain about performance issues at some point, hence why they switched engines I suppose, but don't forget this game originally ran on A6 (and good as the ingame footage showed back in the day, but that's 1-2 years ago.).

I think engine-wise he demanded a bit too much relying so much on shaders for everything. It looked great, but it comes to no surprise that he ran into fps issues there.

Cheers

but the issues isn't with shaders, it's entity counts.
