Graal 3D
 

i loved the concept of this i was wondering if this project is still in progress or if it is no longer a functional server

dumped iirc

wasnt the project dropped like 10 years ago?

Try like 8.

it was horrible.

It was, but man it was fun to find glitches on that server. :D

There have been many different incarnations of Graal 3D, and none of them have really succeeded yet. Personally, my favorite so far has been the version they started to develop using torque.

how ironic, it had no concept

I used to dislike the fact that so much time was being wasted on Graal 3D, but seeing screenshots and videos of it now always makes me nostalgic in a really strange way.

I'm happy that we're now getting releases on mobile platforms instead, but it's kind of sad to think that we never really got to see Graal 3D for long.

it lacked a proper storyline/concept i think, they seem to have focused more on detailed areas rather than a rough overall view and then getting into detail

Beta testing Graal3D was too much fun though

Anyone remember the real Graal 3D project that existed before this? The beta was ****ed up as hell haha.

Snapshots of Graal3D attached for players that didn't see it

oh c'mon MD now i wish the server was still up it looks so good x.x


Looks like wizard101 lol

The only thing I remember about playing Graal 3D was killing snowmen with snowballs

There was a better version at some point with a more solid 3D map editor of sorts, I believe. But I can't find the screenshots for it anywhere. If anyone can, definitely post them.

A real problem with Graal3D was that there weren't enough common objects and good tools to develop with, so everything kind of had to be modeled from scratch. Developers already have a hard enough time with 2D things sometimes, and for 3D, we would have definitely needed different kinds of editors. And to be honest, that could still be way out of this game's league.

Gotta say, though, it was a noble attempt. And for a while, it was looking pretty good. But really, attention is better focused elsewhere right now.
