I uploaded the latest release.This download is twice the size of the previous one.The main reason is I have created an installer which contains the DX Redist and the VC redist files.The installer will install these dependencies on the target computer.
We also added new models to the game so the download size grew a little more.
I did more work on the game and currently you can start a new game,move your villager around and select buildings.They are not functional yet but this is just for testing anyway.
Here are a few of the changes in this release :
-Installer
-Day-night cycles
-Light settings are saved with the map
-Hardware skinning
-Kingdom controls in the editor
-Interface panel in game
-Camera controls in game
-Crash fix in entity info dialog
Check out Version History for a full list.
And here is a screenshot from the game for the first time :

The site has been updated to drupal 6.4.We are working on a new release but there is still some more work I would like to complete before making a public release.Maybe a few more weeks.Hold on tight.

We are back from vacation...Well at least I am back. Paccem is coming back in 5 days.The last two days I worked on water rendering.It is far from perfect and not physically accurate but im satisfied with it,so I wont be working on it more.I am going to work on the sky plane so that the water can reflect something other than the terrain.The water currently reflects everything in the world not just the terrain.After the skyplane is done work will start on gameplay hopefully ^^.
Here is a screenshot showing the water reflections.I also implemented fog its not very noticeable in the screenshot but mountains fade into fog when they are far away.
Finally a new version of Dark Age is released.This release contains lots of new models and improvements to the editor.You can download this release from our downloads section.We added an editorHelp.html file which contains some common questions related to the editor.If you find any bugs or have some suggestions regarding the editor please report them on our forums.
Here is a list of updates for this release :
-Better entity movement,rotation.
-Animated models,multiple animation instances.
-Entity fading based on distance to camera.
-Lots of new models.
-Crash fixes and performance improvements.
We are working on a new version of Dark Age at the moment.It is going to be released in a few days.This new version includes more models, better controls for the editor,lots of performance improvements and crash fixes.We also started working on the game itself.I'm programming an interface manager for the game which will handle buttons checkbuttons etc.Currently the game does nothing but open a direct3d window.The game executable will be included in the release too.
Stay tuned!
A new version of Dark Age is available from the downloads section.
This version includes some new models and a new camera navigation system.There are still some glitches which need fixing,I will work on them later.
