Salute, outcast veterans!
It seems like all hopes for a further Outcast have perished ... all? ... NO! ... a small bunch of OC fans coordinated over the internet simply can't sleep calmly before there is a worthy Outcast successor.
Yes, I'm talking about us "Eternal Outcasts Team" who have been working on our big project "open Outcast" for meanwhile three years!
But this time we're not coming with ideas, words or even screens - we released our first public tech Demo! That means now YOU can make your own impression on our work by downloading the package for your platform of choice (Linux and Windows so far, Mac might come soon) and walk around in the mini-preview version of Ranzaar and Shamazar for yourself!
Still I want to point out that this Tech Demo was neither optimized on speed nor on stability, you might experience problems with displaying the game on differenct hardware / operating system combinations (like some ATI cards) or crashes of open Outcast - if you can reproduce them we will gladly write a patch for the tech demo but else we will keep it this way, since we're primary occupied with the development of the next tech demo and not fixing the now old one ;)
Here some images taken ingame, so you can get an impression what the tech demo is about.
Interested? Get the Tech Demo packages and further information at www.openoutcast.org
We're constantly on the search for people who want to contribute to our project, so feel free to contact us over our board or show the tech demo to your friends if you liked it ... the more talented people we have in our team, the nearer the FINAL release gets! :)
Outcast still alive!
