Lordy, here's the game
By DarkByNight on 23/06/2010
Lordy and anyone who wants (From WG only), I have made the final descision on our engine.
Sorry to say but 3D is a thing that with our current team, we will never ever manage.
So here it is, Shadowcast v0.1 is here.
The server will be up as much as I can handle and any change to the game is serverside so you will only need to download a new client when I update.
After you have downloaded the client, download The config file and place it in your config directory in the data directory of the client.
Create and account and character and you're good to go.
