To a certain extent, the minimum and recommended specification will be determined by the game or other world that you build. For example, the framerate is dependent upon many factors including (but not limited to) the overall polygon count, texture quantity/resolution, transparency, special effects, number (and type) of animations, scene complexity and so on. For our own 'test world' we aim for 60fps on average modern hardware.

The minimum requirement for the engine itself is quite modest - a platform capable of Java 1.5+ and a graphics card capable of hardware accelerated OpenGL graphics (OpenGL 1.2+). One of the purposes of the beta will be to determine the performance and compatibility of the engine in as many different environments as possible.

We are not planning a multi-lingual version of the Coded Edge website at present, but thank you very much for your kind offer.

We get about 60 fps on our development machines in Lesser Howling, the test village. The machines are not top end graphics/gaming machines so we would hope this figure is realistic.

There are further optimisations to do, so this figure may improve.

The figure is very much dependent upon poly and texture loading of course and this needs to be kept under control.

Our 'Bottom End' test machine benchmark is one of the original Apple Mac Minis with Intel graphics chip set. The engine is still useable on that machine whereas some current MMO's will not run.
