Sweet Mary of Jesus, now that’s a big surprise. Yesterday, we posted the first in-game ‘early’ footage of Wildman. Wildman is an RTS/RPG hybrid, that is being kickstarted by Gas Powered Games, the company behind Supreme Commander and Dungeon Siege series. However, it seems that the company is going down, as the Kickstarter did not take off and as a result of that, Taylor laid off a substantial number of the team.

It’s been a while since our last look on the Outerra Engine. In case you’re unaware of, Outerra is an engine that features a real scale planet Earth that can be explored and is created from real elevation data with resolution 90m where available, 1km resolution for oceans; data are dynamically downloaded as you go. The team behind Outerra has released a new video for it, showcasing two new features; adjustable time and time speed multiplier. It looks stunning for what it’s offering, though it suffers from the same blurry issues of Oblivion and Skyrim. Enjoy!

Gas Powered Games and Chris Taylor have unveiled the first gameplay footage of their upcoming RPG/RTS hybrid, Wildman. According to Taylor, this is extremely early development footage using an older version of their 3D rendering technology with the lighting removed and placeholder models and textures. For those interested in the new tech, Wildman will use deferred rendering and will look significantly better. Wildman features a fixed isometric/top-down camera like Diablo, or Dungeon Siege minus the ability to rotate the camera, and uses standard PC action-RPG controls. In addition, Wildman won’t use any kind of DRM and will support both Offline and Online modes. Enjoy! Continue reading Gas Powered Games’ Wildman Gets Its First Early Footage→
We are pretty sure that a lot of WarCraft fans cannot wait for a new strategy game, based on that universe. Well, even though Blizzard has no such plans – at least for now – a team of modders is creating an unofficial sequel to Warcraft III that will be called, Warcraft: A New Dawn. This mod is still in early stage, but the team has released a new video for it that can be viewed below. It looks cool and promising, and since it’s being developed on Blizzard’s other game, we kind of think that it won’t receive a C&D letter. Enjoy!
