Ogre3D project: Void Destroyer – now on Steam Greenlight and Kickstarter

Hey Ogre3D community,

many of you might already have seen that promising project in our forums, but nonetheless we think it deserves an extra spot here as well.

Void Destroyer – a space simulation with real time strategy elements (inspired by the classics). Manage planets and build space stations, setup trade routes, build ships and command them to defend yourself from attacking pirates and aliens. Play with a mouse or joystick. Take command of your ship directly or let the ship crew do the work for you while you manage the battle from the tactical screen.

Today the game was launched on Steam Greenlight and a Kickstarter campaign was started to fund the game art. So have a look and give it a try, and if you like it and want to help, consider backing the project.

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,

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.
