Here's a press release we just received:
February 15 will be a historic day for Linux gamers as A Tale In The Desert
(http://www.atitd.com) will be the first commercial MMORPG to launch with both Windows and Linux native clients.
eGenesis is a strong supporter of open source software and it has been instrumental in the development of A Tale in the Desert.
For instance:
* The server is a cluster of 9 commodity PCs running Red Hat 8.
* eGenesis extended the LGPL library Cal3D (cal3d.sourceforge.net), adding
tangent-space calculations to support environment-mapped bump-mapping. eCal3D can be downloaded from: http://www.atitd.com/downloads.html
* A number of open-source tools and libraries were used during development,
including GCC, LibPNG, ZLib and The GIMP.
We invite you to join us on Saturday, Feb 15 at noon EST (-0500 GMT) for the grandopening of A Tale In The Desert. The game will be available as a free downloadable demo featuring 24 hours of play time or one month of service, whichever comes first.
Following the initial trial period, the monthly fee is $13.95. More information is
available on the official website: http://www.atitd.com
German speakers are also invited to join Kemet, A Tale In The Desert's German
language server operated by MDO Games (http://www.mdo-games.de). For more information, please visit: http://www.kemet-deutschland.de |
