New MMO Will Render Planets In Real Time
Fans of massively multiplayer online games has something new to look forward to – Infinity: The Quest for Earth. Being developed by a few guys who work on the project during their free time, the game is set against a futuristic persistent universe.
This MMO will surely be a good wait, since the guys are using an engine that can render entire planets in real-time. The main man behind the project, Flavien Brebion, shares:
“…all the planets have realistic dimensions and scales.If you were to land on a planet and fly at low altitude at airplane speed, it’d take you hours before reaching another continent. You’d never see the same hill or some mountain twice.Then, each major planet can have tens of moons. Each solar system can have many planets, all rotating with realistic, dynamic orbits, allowing you to attend an eclipse or a sunset in real time. Finally, the galaxy will contain millions, if not billions, of these solar systems. All different.”
To convince you how impressive the game is going to look like, here’s a three minute graphics engine demo.
