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. (more…)
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.
we are happy to be able to introduce to you another commercial Ogre3D project, this time by the independent micro studio BitFlip.

Jan Drabner (alias TheSHEEEP) joined as the official MinGW port maintainer!
Team Role: MinGW Maintainer Location:Berlin, Germany Contact: thesheeep@REMOVESPAMogre3d.org About: Jan currently works as a Technical Director at a message entertainment company in Berlin, programming mainly in C/C++ and ActionScript 3. He came into first contact with Ogre during his apprenticeship of Game Design and 3D Programming at the Games Academy and felt comfortable with the engine and the community, so he stayed and followed the further development of the engine. When he also started using Ogre at his job, he decided that it was about time to do something for the community and joined the team in July 2012 as MinGW maintainer.
