woot !

And 2 years of that was getting the Ogre engine looking good before it was scrapped. So, what? Another year at least to go then?
The building textures in Rome could really use a revamp. Other than that you seem to be making nice progress, tho the visual quality still doesn't seem as good as the ogre video posted ages ago.
We will be producing new trees. We were never intending to use speed-tree...we'd rather make our own.

There should be more notum trees around RK. Perhaps a mini one to put in apartment at Christmas time to?

How come not a single word about AO in the Q3 report?
Ah, okay. My mistake. I could have sworn SpeedTree was mentioned by one of you guys a while back. Maybe it was just a players suggestion I cross-wired, though.
Or maybe I was thinking it because AoC uses SpeedTree.

Looking good.
Seriously cant wait for the end product. Hoping for new pix every week.
Am i the only on that noticed the broken bridge in the Tir2 old screen and the missing bridge in Tir 3 old screen?
Freedom or death!
Anything then being an Omni Tek Corporate slave!
Created 2005-11-16 (paid main that's all mine)
Created 2005-02-03 (froobie)
Created 2007-10-11 (second paid account because i wanted a freaking shade :P)
That's due to known render limits of the old engine. If you go up there and look on your current one you'll see that as well.
Because they shut AO down in 2008...

Woot dude ! Thanx for this screenies.
For sure the water look like real stuff, and so the grass is, not mentionning this amazing effect on tir sunset ! Can't wait to see this animated ^^
Some details beside that :
Shadows are imo still a little "square" but i think it might depend on each computer settings/card and further code blur/antialias improvment from devs.
Bump maps give some nice effects on tir screenies, but fore sure a huge part of the work (wich i hope won't be left aside !!) is texture/geometric revisitation when needed (trees, floor e.g.). That would be sad to limit onto Z010 rendering power on Z001 design content
So i encourage the team to go further ! That looks better everytime and i really hope that will revitalize AO on player income, cause if AO becomes equal to other MMOs on look, as it beat them all on content that'd roxxxXX.

Does this mean that I am having that psychotic episode they warned me about every day now?

Rest well this night. For tomorrow, you sail for the Kingdom of Rubi-Ka!
no. you're just... in The Village. and everything is perfectly fine and dandy.
be seeing you!
No no, its ok, we're stuck in a time loop. What happened was Macro wore pants the same day you work the Teletubby outfit and it caused a rip in the fabric of space, I think we should see if your wife could sew it back up for us.
