Res Bellicae: The Game

[Gaio Giulio Patrizio]

Hi TO all

I'm Writing a New Engine to make a new game from Res Bellicae ^^
A game Engine is just a "base" for writing games

Here it's the actual state of the engine:

REDER Engine:

Current State:
- Loading and Rendering Models in. X
- Loading and updating of animations in. Dae and. X
* Support for blending
* Added support for linked models ( horse and rider)
- Manage audio and video
* 3D sound support
* Uses the Windows codec (supports virtually any format)
- Input Management
* keyboard and mouse
- "Bullet" physics engine succesfully integrated
- 2D-support (with hardware acceleration in 2D renders)
- Internet-support (fully qualified to manage connections and data traffic)
- Support multithreading (and synchronization processes)
* Algorithm to minimize the waiting time of synchronization
- Exponential Shadow Mapping Algorithm for fast placed Soft Shadows
- Supports shader model 4.0 (and 5.0 if new card) and is based on DirectX 11

[Constantius]

Thats one fantastic project, good luck

[Gaio Giulio Patrizio]

little steps but we are keeping up ^^

[Segestan]

Is it possible to have the game option menu where a player can set the number of factions starting from Nomad or small settlement and pick the building sites as they collect resources, advancing to iron age, like Age of Empires but on a RTW engine? Would be a neat game.

[Pharoah]

This could probelbley be better then rome total war

[Gaio Giulio Patrizio]

the engine is pretty complete in the "hard" part.
now we will star weighting all the possibilities ^^

ask for entering and i will confirm

[Emperor Domitianus]

Wow! So let me guess you are trying to "update" the game to the level of the latest TW games?
Will this include the possibility to increase the number of provinces, number of factions and units?

[Pharoah]

I think thats what he's doing

[Emperor Domitianus]

If so it would be amazing!

[Pharoah]

what's the progress of the game emgien

[Gaio Giulio Patrizio]

yes ^^
i got hte engine almost finished at basic level
got to go through

water
special effects on shader (i would like HDR rendering for instance)
world loading
phyisics (planned is an integration with physX by Nvidia that comes free ^^ )

till now we can load models ina world and animate them. We are making initial steps to get the point ^^

[atheniandp]

Any progress? This sounds great! You can therefore allow realistic unit sizes! 50, 000 man battles! Unlimited factions. And optimize the game for dual core processors? The possibilities!

[GM207]

wow, how will that work? we still need the cd for RTW or BI right?
I wonder if you are making any changes for cities to have there own unique looks and deffences, and the acropolis in Athens etc...
You got me excited now, I think I need to get me a new computer just for that, what do you think the spec on such a computer to accommodate 50,000 men to run smoothly?
And hmmm, when will the estimated release date you think would be? SORRY SORRY I HAD TO ASK OK!!!
