Technical
This page contains technical information about the Might & Magic Tribute game. It includes information about the engine we're using, the tools we've created to help us make the game, the possibility of modifying the game’s content and any 3rd-party software we're using.
MMT Engine
The Might & Magic Tribute game is coded in C#. The rendering engine will be based on MrcioSoft's XNA.
The engine used in the Tech Demo was coded using Blitz3D and was initially used as a template for creating the game engine. However, the new MMT engine will need to be more powerful and more flexible.
Game Modification
We are planning to make MMTribute mostly data- and script-driven, to maximize the possibilities for customizing and modding. A dialogue format has been developed that can be used in all kinds of applications.
