Title: BattleMaster Adventures
Post by: Tom on April 01, 2015, 05:32:50 PM: BMA is a stand-alone spin-off about the adventurer gameplay. The exploring of ruins and deserted places in the wilderness, the fight against monsters and undead and other terrors.

The game is being developed in Unity 3D and will run on OS X, windows and Linux computers.

It will require a reasonably recent graphics card to run properly.

A teaser video is available at http://youtu.be/Kr92xUW3DGY

OS X: http://lemuria.org/~tom/BM-Mac.zip (73 MB)

Any idea if we'll be able to get some servers of the game running. I know Unity has its own netcode baked in. Would love to actually be able to work together to take down the big snarling monster, or Skeleton King.

That is assuming that the date of the posting has no relevance.

Uh... well... yeah... actually, I did. :-)

The comment about needing a recent graphic card was a give away for me, given the graphical techniques demonstrated in the video. But the also given the date I was waiting for Tom to pull something.

Uh, what? Actually, since I'm not a master in performance optimization, you really need a somewhat recent card. The SpeedTree forest, for example, is much heavier on the graphics performance than it seems.
