Wurm Online

Post by talonclaw »

Formal request for game support

Wurm Online was created by Notch and Rolf, developed by Rolf when Notch went onto create Minecraft.

It's a first person Fantasy MMO and it's gasping for Rift support.

Are any developers aware of it or should i present a better showcase?


thank you

Hi,
I don't develop Vireio, but I can say that support is highly unlikely, for two reasons: Number one would be that since the game is developed in Java, and judging by the developer's past games, there is a high likelihood of the game using lwjgl, which means that instead of dx9 the game is using opengl. In order to get it to work, Vireio would have to be recoded. Another thing is that since Wurm is an MMO, the servers might recognize Vireio as a mod/hack, and ban you.

I don't develop for Vireio though, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

thekitchensink is correct, unless this game uses DX9 (which it doesn't appear to), then Vireio can't support it.
