This release is meant to help us pinpoint any hardware compatibility problems and also to get some early feedback on the game. The primary work has been on the engine and tools, and it shows!

If you are curious about how much work goes into a good RPG, <A href="http://www.prairiegames.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=11">this forum</a> may be of interest... Watch the issues list pile up.

<b>This is not a demo</b>. It's a test. It is <b>NOT</b> representational of the final product. The test is not optimized and unless you have <b>at least 512 megs of system and 64 megs of video ram</b> it is advised that you skip it. I promise there'll be a real demo, some day. For now, this is pretty much an interactive version of the video.

<br>
I am holding back the OSX build until I can establish if this was a good idea or not Idea Though, a clever fish could compile their own OSX build if they were so inclined Cool
<br>
<br>
Otherwise, have fun and PREPARE TO ENTER MINIONS OF MIRTH!!! </blockquote>

Minions of Mirth - Compatibility Test #1

Whee!!!

Now, Please note the "system requirements" of this unoptimized version of the engine above...

I really do hope people enjoy the test... If you are interested in indie games, pre-alpha RPG madness, Open Source development, etc.. this test and MoM in general is probably for you. Just try to ignore the man behind the curtain.

If you want to play a game, I recommend waiting until at least Beta... this isn't the release for you!

There is a bunch of information on the test in our MoMTests Forums ... also... the Game Design Forums may give more insight into what you are lookin' at

We WILL be releasing the OSX version... so you can edit the news item if you like

Have fun!,
