Very impressive stuff, congratulations!

Any tips on what kind of game it will be? I mean I read about magic carpet (never played it though),but I assume this one will have some other features too?

Looking at your tech demo, I had an image in my mind in which huge armies of summoned creatures would fight over land, while their wizards (players) try to influence the battle from above by twisting the terrain in their favor. Will it be something like that?

That too, especially in multiplayer.
In single player, these creatures often will be wild ones, not summoned, with focus more on exploring and experimenting with worlds to discover their secrets.

Nice! I'll follow your project to see how it goes then.

Version 0.04 released: http://ranmantaru.com/games/arcane-worlds

The game now has more settings to select between quality and performance. More details here: http://ranmantaru.com/blog/2012/04/16/arcane-worlds-0-04/

I'd like to know if those settings help with FPS issues and how it runs with object shadows on your hardware.

For those interested here's a technobabble article about soft shadows with deferred rendering: http://ranmantaru.com/blog/2012/04/17/soft-object-shadows-with-deferred-rendering/

This is coming along nicely and really impressive project so just did a pre-order purchase to support this being made. Really interested to see where you take it.

Thanks! It looks like I'll be putting it on Desura soon, so I'll be able to send gift/invites. I'll send you one too so you can review next releases with more features.
