Evochron Legacy SE

Post by Deneb95 »

Dear Vice few days ago I read the announcement "Evochron Legacy may be moving", but now I'm unable to find it. So I would like to know if there will be a chance to see the SE version of Evochron in the near future or if you have already abandoned the project. :(

Still working on it, just acquired the next round of testers I was looking for. So far, things are proceeding fairly well, a few things that will likely delay/hold up any potential release, but nothing that doesn't seem to be fixable at this point.

Edit: here is a link to the announcement thread: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=13700

It's open to anyone who wants to try it and the more testing, the better. Just send me a quick e-mail ( starwraith.com > contact ) if you want to give it a try. Then please let me know how it runs on your system.

Will this exclusively be 64 bit? I'd have to upgrade my OS. Any other hardware requirements or is SM3 still enough?

Current plan is 64-bit only, although I may be able to put together a custom 32-bit runtime for a particular test build. It will require hunting down alternates for some of the modules/code to try and apply 32-bit compatible versions and/or disabling those that may not have such an option. SM3 level hardware should be enough as with other parameters from the DirectX version.
