Voxel rendering with shadows and improved lightning
For some reason that pic reminded me of Warcraft II... So awkward.
You know what's funny about that? I believe it is/will be quite possible to re-create 'WarCraft 2' as an OpenRa mod... hmm... >_>
I love Red Alert, and i'm glad to see that there is a Open version more updated of This AWESOME game, and not the f.. sh... that EA games made in the RA III...
Good luck with the game, i hope that we can play it soon :D
Much much better, Thanks so much!
