- It has to work across different platforms: Windows (XP/Vista), Linux, MacOS X, Solaris and maybe Unix
- It has to be very easy to use. 95% of the remote desktop systems i have tried where extremely hard to setup.

Working on Nordic Realms 0.3.0

Nordic Realms version 0.2.1 Tech-demo released!
Since this is the first release, i have little knowledge of how the game will perform on different computers, so i would like everyone to take "The benchmark test". This test can be started by executing the game launcher, clicking "Options", and then clicking "Benchmark system". The result of the test will automatically be sent to our server.
If you find a bug in the game, please write a bug report on the forum (Crash bugs will automatically be reported to our server).

Geo-mipmapping, texture-mipmapping and animation
I have currently been working on geo-mipmapping and texture-mipmapping. This is important if you want to view great distances of terrain, without using a lot of processing power. As you can see in the video bellow, this feature is not complete yet. You can switch between low level terrain and height level terrain, but this does not happen automatically, and you can only have one detail level at a time. This problem will be fixed soon.
I have finally managed to get my animations to work in XNA. In the start i used Blender to animate our models, but i had a very hard time getting the animations to play in XNA. Now i use XSI MOD tool, and getting animations to play in XNA is a lot easier.
Enjoy this video showing LOD (Geo-mipmapping and texture-mipmapping) and animation:

Nordic Realms video - XNA MMORPG
As you know i have been working on a game called Nordic Realms (website: www.sfponline.dk). I have not invested a whole lot of time into it yet, but i am getting closer to a serious release. There is still a lot of technical stuff that needs to be done, before i can implement story and role-playing game play. The game already support a lot of things like Battle system, Quest system, NPC system so making a playable release in the next month is not unrealistic.
I had made a small "tech preview release", but i removed it again since it was "illegal". Apparently you can't make an MMORPG without the permission of the Danish state (i live in

Peoples SDK screenshots
Hi again.
Half a year ago, i was working on an MMO engine, which turned out to be quite good. However, in the past months i have not had time to develop it further, but now things have changed. I have improved and expanded the engine so that it now supports better terrain rendering, better material system, AI and much more. I am also renaming the engine to Peoples SDK, since it can be used for much more then just MMO's, and it is not just cold bin libraries anymore, it also contains programs like a world editor and a patch manager. I am now releasing a little eye-candy from the engine, so you can see what kind of graphics it supports. The first three screenshots are with directional lighting, and the last is with dynamic lighting:
Btw. i am tired of using the terrain textures from remiers site, so if you have some nice terrain textures you would like to share, please send them to my e-mail (steffan88@gmail.com).
