Dragon Mage

From BovineNet

Dragon Mage is a side scrolling arcade style shoot-em-up type game.

There is no scheduled release date at this stage. The current status, is that the game is in an alpha test stage.

[edit] Technical details

It is being developed in pure 32-bit protected mode assembly language. This results in very fluid animation and allows us to use high quality digital music.

3D ray-traced graphics are being used to give the animated characters real depth with smooth lifelike animation. The music is being composed by a professional composer who has worked in the TV/movie world for years, so the music will be very atmospheric.

The game will probably be released as shareware. The expected minimum system is 486 w/GUS, though with a SB you may need a faster computer. We plan on supporting all major digital sound cards, however expect wavetable cards such as the Gravis Ultrasound to have the best performance.
