Preview at DailyRadar - posted by Warlock @ 12:49

DailyRadar has previewed the Alpha 0.09us build of Blade of Darkness. The preview comes with a nice collection of new screenshots.

The explorable areas are huge and varied, featuring indoor and outdoor sections. While the engine is still be optimized, it's already performing admirably at 1024x768x32, even with multiple monsters on screen. The amazing part is that everything that can cast a shadow does, and it's all done in realtime. Fighting near a torch? Everything will shift in realtime while strafing. More than one light source? There will be multiple shadows, including soft-shadowing. It seems like a small detail, but it adds almost immeasurably to the suspension of disbelief.
