Hello,
Our team is currently looking for more members.
Cyclo Logic Studios is a volunteer-based group, producing a freeware game.

We are currently developing an online 3d action game to which we will eventually add RPG elements to it.
To summarize in a few words our first demo releases will feature a relatively small online 'map', and p.-v.-p. sword combat (action oriented).
Our writers are also working hard toward the next 'step' of our project which has plans to include a rich background of a fictional land.

"Ages ago a young boy named Kenji fought against tremendous odds to defeat the prodical chi user Rai and end his reign of terror though not all was well on the small island for Rai's body was never found
and some even go as far as to say he will once again return. The few who say this don't know how right they are."

Here's a bit about our project:
- The client executable uses C++ and DirectX 9.0c.
- The target minimum hardware is p.s. (pixel shader) 2.0 supporting systems.
- The project wasn't started yesterday, some of us have been working on it since late 2003.

The project already has a good list of features:
- Dynamic sky/shadow system (Picture 1, Picture 2, Picture 3),
parralax mapping, reflective/refractive water(Picture 1, Picture 2, Picture 3),
per pixel light, etc. for graphics. Basic collision, basic network.
- video, sound, time, input, config management.
- continous loads, robust and strong culling algoritmes, triagulation optimizations algorithmes.
- And so much more.. as you see the entire team is focusing and taking time to do things right.
Some screenshots can be found in our dump. *56k warning.
