World We Create

Programming and art project to create an interactive world using the powerful TrueVision3D
engine. WWC is not a game per se, as there is no winning or losing, nor
is there any competition, but it's more like a sandbox where you can
add, remove and manipulate things and entities. Only that you walk in
the box yourself. But for everybody's convenience we'll call it a game
in the same manner we call our end-users players.

We are no professionals of any kind so you won't find a long list
of cool features that will be in WWC. This project is about learning to
program, to organize workflow, to create art and implement it into an
interactive environment. We hope to be able to make some kind of code
snippets and easy to understand tutorials of our progress steps so
other modmakers and TV3D users can learn about creating a virtual world
with the engine. Also most of the content will be published as public
domain so stay tuned.

The setting

The setting in World We Create
is mostly medieval with a slight twist of steampunk. On the scale of
fantasy vs realistical it's more on the latter end. You won't find any
miraculous spells or races other than humans with their subcultures,
but then again the aim isn't in total realism either. To put in words,
it's a colourful story of different tribes inhabiting islands and how
they will eventually migrate from one to another.

About the team

At the time of writing this there's me, Jukka Kevät,
and couple of my friends who do some models and graphic from time to
time. I have a strong Basic background and will be programming all the
stuff in Visual Basic in addition of creating 3D graphics myself.

This game looks pretty interesting. Keep up the good work. I hope this comes out sometime in the next 1-5 years (if that is a reasonable time scale)

I apologize for the lack of updates. Being very busy with the work (we have just moved to new office space) and organizing our upcoming cooperation with the firm I'm in.

Been coding the new scene loader and making environment props (trees, rocks and stuff). The website will be updated february and I try to push the ingame video and new screenshots at the same time. The first ingame video was very... average. Have to optimize the code a bit to keep good framerate with fraps.
