First of all:
We are a looking forward to see more great projects based upon our beloved engine and we definitely have some interesting times ahead of us. So let’s start marching.
That being said, we have two things we want to draw your attention to:
Yet another commercial game using Ogre3D as the rendering engine was released this autumn. Check out these extracts and screenshots from the official press release we received:
This year was one of success for JetDogs Studios. One of the new creations of the company is an inimitable game with an exciting title “Alchemy Mysteries: Prague Legends”. The action of the fascinating story proceeds in the old mysterious Prague whose secrets are to be discovered by an orphan named Eva – the main character of the storyline.
The special mystic atmosphere was created thanks to the graphical platform OGRE 3D. Using this advanced technology, the developers succeeded to create many different fine details. Pre-rendered cube-maps of extremely high quality are the basis for environments with full 3D elements. All the characters of the game are also in full 3D that makes scenes and actions completely realistic.

Hi Ogre3D community,
many of you might already have heard of the new Ogre3D-powered game “Salvation Prophecy”. It definitely deserves a mention here in our news blog and the fact that it has just been entered into Steam Greenlight makes for a perfect moment to share some additional information about it that the creator Sean Lindskog was kind enough to provide:
Game Overview
Salvation Prophecy is a military space epic. Human, mutant, and robotic factions are at war for galactic domination. Battles rage as space fleets collide, and planet invasions clash against fortified enemy colonies. Yet the greatest danger is the impending annihilation foretold by an apocalyptic prophecy. You must seek out the mysteries of distant alien worlds, and master ancient powers to withstand the coming storm.
Hi Ogre3D community,
we are happy to be able to introduce to you another commercial Ogre3D project, this time by the independent micro studio BitFlip.
BitFlip Studios
The studio is based in Berkeley, California and almost two years old. The team has released a number of iOS games, as well as having played supporting roles in yet to be released AAA games. Formerly, members of the team worked on the Bioshock & X-Com series at 2K Marin, as well as Hellgate: London & Mythos with Flagship Studios.
Minion Master
Their newest creation is a digital board game called Minion Master. It combines elements of tabletop gaming, turn based and real-time strategy, and collectible card building games and has now officially gone into beta beginning of this month. The game is also now available for pre-order and players who do so will get instant access to the game’s exclusive, closed private beta.
The BitFlip Games team will also be at the Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) in Seattle, WA from August 31st to September 2nd to unveil Minion Master to consumers for the first time. Players who visit the BitFlip Games booth will be able to jump onto one of six stations hosting multiplayer Minion Master matches.
