what resolution are you running it. Looks low. Try a higher res?

You get that in all games, its just a matter of resolution. If your resolution is maxed out, the only way to improve it is to add a blur shader, or possibly a light bloom, to soften the edges. Fog helps with this as well.

RUCCUS has the idea. Once you have some shaders, lighting, decoration, it will be hard to notice.

A tech demo isnt a camera moving around a prefabbed church model from gamespace, with some bloom effects on. Tech demos feature the core elements of the game. You're making an MMORPG IIRC (bad idea, but anyways), that means you'll need to have multiplayer, inventory, quests, battle system, level system, skills, collision / physics, and a few other perks, if you're planning on calling it a tech demo, and hoping to attract anyone at all.

Be warned. If you make a team request with what you have now, it'll be locked immediately.

well, actually i have an inventory system and everything, and it isnt an mmorpg (just rpg) and i really would rather have a good test that i can see how the user will see it before i get some story and stuff out.

still looking for shaders (i want to see an ink .fx shader but i cnat find it)

Look for the Ultimate Shader Pack. I think it's in Program Announcement.

But yeah, seriously, I think you should work a little more on the engine's core. Atleast get a good map format, then worry about shaders are part of the map.

People spend years working on rpgs. Even the teams of hundreds of programmers, generally are still using primitives and working on getting the core gameplay done for the first few months. No offense but several days isn't that long at all, and Im pretty sure "an inventory system and everything" isnt close to what I listed.

But do as you wish, its your project.

Ive been spending actually about a year planning the game and learning Darkbasic, and i have at this moment:

Inventory System
Weapon system
battle system
small quest system
GUI (Working on it as we speak)
and all i need is some 3d models, but i have found some now and i cnat wait to dive in and make this game.

scorpyo:
Thank you SO MUCH you are my "savior" for this game many many praises.

None of those actually use any graphics (apart from GUI, but that's not 3D). If you want to have shaders, I really recommend having a map system (even if it's very basic). It might take you a couple of hours to make, so really, by now you could have finished it. But trust me, it will help.

Actually the HUD uses 3d, it is really cool actually, but still buggy, when i make it stable ill post it in WIP, it rotates a box to show you your health and stats, then i left a placeholder for a map, and some shortcuts.
