Here's a comment from the FAQ on the matter of cost:

"Is the game free?"

"No the game is not free. We have yet to decide a price.

That said we know that the game will not be subscription based.

The Mods will be free once they have passed our testing."


And on time:

"I put in around 30 - 50 hours depending on the week. We have a team of 40 who regularly produce work and we would be looking at around 400 hours from the team in total. Although we get alot more than that.

There is also trial members where we have around 36 although I only have 22 active on my MSN at the moment.

We also have Non-Core members who are helping to give a piece here and there every so often, thats around 10 people

We finally have around 5 or 6 contractors who take work when we need something done.

So I reckon for a part-time development team we would probably match some studios for development time."



Some people say the independent games developers are dead, but a dedicated part-time or full-time team can still create great games, especially on the PC platform.

They put a fair amount of polygons on those models. I don't know how realistic is this, considering this is a MMORPG.

It's not a rpg, it's a WWII fps/simulation best compared to WWIIOnline but with far better graphics and models. Not all of those models will be in the game, but used for things such as normal maps (such as the tyre). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_mapping

Fallshirmjäger, you need Quicktime 6.5 or greater installed on your computer to view .mov files.
Just for you I've put all the individual links here:

UNBELEIVABLE!!!

I'm most definately setting aside some disc space (or from the looks of it, an entire hard drive) for this one. Simply amazing! This will without a doubt be the end-all, be-all of the WWII FPS genre. I mean for God' sake, look at the BUTTPLATE on the M1 Garand!

Its these little things that take one's breath away



Read the FAQ

http://www.1944d-day.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=63


I just cannot beleive the amount of features they are putting into this. The developers are obviously very dedicated to bringing an absolutely authentic experience to this very crowded genre.

There's supposed to be a content release VERY SOON.

Fallschirmjäger: The Quicktime download can be found here

It's a fairly large download. Perhaps you have a version on a disk somewhere.

The vids are 360º rotation of the untextured and unsmoothed models, so they're nothing spectacular.
