Howdy folks!
The rendering reform we have embarked upon a few months ago is complete. ToEE runs much smoother now, particularly on low end systems, and those of you with higher end rigs can even enjoy soft shadows now!
We're also thrilled to announce one special little side effect of the rendering overhaul - ToEE can now be played at full HD!
Yep, that screenshot above was taken at 1920x1200. You can see those soft shadows I mentioned above too :)
Along the way, we've also made several quality of life improvements to the game:
- Alt-click items when bartering to quickly and painlessly sell them. Say goodbye to drag'n'drop!
- Levelup HP can be set to Average or Max, for those of you who don't want to depend on the cruel god of RNGs!
- Casting Read Magic will identify all of your potions and scrolls in a single casting when performed in a safe area. Saves you the trouble of casting and clicking on each and every one!
- Cast Defensively won't interfere with your casting outside of combat now.
- Protection from Alignment spells won't interfere with friendly buff spells anymore.
- Paste from clipboard to the game console.
Playtesting isn't always boring :)
The last few weeks have been dedicated to hammering out bugs for a decently stable Beta launch, scheduled for next Sunday - the 6th of March. We hope to see some of you take an active part, to help us make our goal of a full release at the end of the month!
Cheers,

Great news! Do you have a donation Paypal? There could be something it it for you...
Thanks, but I think taking money for this would be opening a can of worms :)
Ok, I think that I get your point. Looking forward to playing ToEE again in 1080p without lag.
Is there plans / possibilities for make this MMO?. Regards
An MMO is definitely out of the question, haha. We might look into some limited form of multiplayer next year, but no promises.
