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 3^rd-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.
