Set screen to 320x200 using majikrc and disable textures, mouse, mousetrap, fog and set shading to flat. You can then get approx. 10fps on PII233. > So when are you planing to make it RPG instead of copying Tuxedo game? Milestone 1 was to create working landscape and movement system. The next version is to allow having multiple penguins (or whatever) walking on the landscape, talking with each other == multiuser, the next version then is to fix all the bugs and add boxes (buildings) and other such things to the game so there could be the legendary Hilltop's Inn. Then we are going to do more cities and stuff. It will take 3 months by my estimation. > Do you have any 3D models ready? Any levels? No. Also, we don't actually model the models. We do just few sketches and then let the code dynamically generate the objects. Thus it is faster that way and has also many advantages over static objects used in all the other games. > Otherwise, it's gonna take half a year more to model all 3D stuff, i know :( It would take more :) This is not a project to be coded in a few weeks. Our estimation is that it will take _years_ until we can say the game is playable, if it never will be. Majik's goal is not to provide playability alone. -- Tommi Leino / Majik 3D project namhas@majik.netti.fi http://majik.netti.fi
