Graal 3D Preview Released!

[T3CK]

I know I'll probably be bashed and/or banned for saying this, but why would I want to play this game when there are other much better FREE 3D RPG games out there that I can play?

Only because unixmad seems to read this thread and commented I will put serious input-

I see good potential (sp?). If done right you could make this really fun, I dont know exactly how though.

Graphic wise I can't say much, framerates are low for me but then again I have a Radeon 7500LE so thats obviously why. I LOVE THE SWIMMING. The character's swim animation looks good and I just love going underwater because of the affects. Maybe have some treasure hunts ?

The nature looks good, I love watching the water from a high point.

The town is OK, needs a lot of work (BUILD A WALL) but suits the job for now.

Characters looks ok, you need a perm first person button and make it so that when you look up while in first person, you dont see any hats or caps or anything. Make it so characters can climb! Thats a must in 3D mmorpgs.

And come on, the snowmen look like turds. Atleast give them mean eyes.

Thats just my random comment since a server on another mmorpg is down >_>

Yes, but they have proven to be more capable of posting crap...

Maybe so but they just don't have that same "feel" as Graal. From all my experiences with other games, Graal easily wins for community and for making you feel part of the game. I just feel like another statistic on others.

All I have to say is this.

Graal 3D hasn't even reached a 10% mark, all there is is what we call in the industry "playable". Meaning, we have a character in...good, we have the ability to place models and world objects, good. There is no actual game yet. The game design is extensive and i can assure you it won't be like any other MMO game out there. Once you see what Graal 3D is going to be capable of, I'm sure all of you will like it.

This XMas special was just a "playable" present, just to give you something to see. It does not represent the full product. Please don't let a games early stages make you feel that the completed product will be bad.

for those of you who made positive comments on the snowman i thank you, i wish i had more time to work on it but i believe we got good results on it for the 2 days i worked on it.

Well we can see why you got the PR Admin job.

Now hire some RP admins for good measure for 3d's future RP World and especially for Kingdoms. That's some more constructive input.

It all looks very blocky, flat, and jagged... Was it made this way to cut down on system requirements?

When working with a full-fledged 3d game it's imporant that things always look pretty from every angle. I know it can be rather difficult when forced to work with a low poly-count. But first thing people are going to notice about your game now-a-days (always before purchasing) is how it looks. I can say that that's what I look at first.

Anyway, I dont know who you have on your design team (models, textures/skins, levels) But Im sure you've found people who know what they're doing. Just keep at it.

Perhaps my expectaions are too high... I was looking for a sort of Morrowind Online, visual wise.

I think the idea of a Graal3d can work, mainly because of the easy Playerworld making capabilities. Just remember not to make it too easy to start one (Like with the 2D ones, $100 for a server for a year no questions asked?) or everyone will want to start their own and help will be spread too thin. No one will want to team up, because they wouldn't be in charge anymore. Perhaps have the PWA review potention PWs BEFORE they can have a server. Quality over quantity... Then again, quantity is probably making you more money. :P

Ignore the ignorant ones and continue the good work.

how long have you been playing graal?

[Krakken]

Okay, I've tried it and it's fantastic. The only thing that needs fixing before it will be playable is the low FPS a lot of people are getting (I don't get it myself). I have a hunch it may be because everything is scripted?

Someone correct me if i'm wrong, but it seems that the only people getting slow frame rates are using ATI Radeon cards? I haven't seen anyone complain about Nvidia or any other make. Might be just me though.

I have a Nvidia geforcefx 5500 256mb no problems. And your assumption may be correct!

Hopefully, as I'm sure it will be a lot easier to fix if the problem is just for a certain type of card - instead of a range of them

Indeed, i have a 128mb Nvidia FX 5200 and its good for me. I think everyone should post their card, and say yay or nay for performance on the game.

I use an nvidia, i dunno which one, and it works fine for me, except for the occasional minor lag (which i'm sure anyone has).
