Game Name: Foundations of Hope Online
Technology: TGE + Torque MMO Kit
Genre: Christian Fantasy MMORPG
Company: Lethal Games Corporation
Game Website: Foundations of Hope Online

Finished getting my zones all ready for TMK, see previous post on more information. Second wave will be to try using the .dts shader portion of TMK. Second wave won't be for awhile, then again First wave wasn't planned until much later either. But there is enough implemented now to test the base shader features and make sure no issues.

The Dragons are just more photogenic but tried to get a couple other races in there.

Just wondering ... but what is performance difference between "stock" TGE and using the Modernization Kit?
also nice sky on the mountains

Not sure about stock TGE since all I have really used is the TMMOKit. With the kit, to be safe, I'd say half the FPS of it not implemented.

Loving the pics.

Missing TGE. Been trying to change the assets that came along with T3D and getting confused on how the scattered sky clouds are made. :P

Looking a ton better already, get those .dts shaders working and you'll really be talking.
