This demo contains the TOWER OF NOWHERE level and presents a very small subset of the gameplay. Get it here:
-
On Desura:
- Windows XP/Vista/7, Mac OSX or Linux
TRI wasn't tested on Windows 8. Unity's Linux support is mainly for Ubuntu.
- CPU: probably Intel Core i5 (or comparable), at least 2.0 GHz
- modern graphics card with at least Shader Model 3
The game also works with Shader Model 2, too, but then you won't get deferred rendering (i.e. a nicer look). From the Unity3D website: "Most graphics cards made after 2004 support deferred lighting, including GeForce FX and later, Radeon X1300 and later, Intel 965 / GMA X3100 and later."
- an integrated Intel graphics card is not recommended
If you have more than one graphics card, like in a modern laptop, allow TRI to use your 3D accelerated graphics card (via the settings of your graphics card vendor)
- any sound card will do
- be aware that some of the requirements may change in the future
- If you want to change the control layout, start the "tri.exe" with Shift+Doubleclick. (This is rudimentary, and doesn't work in Linux! Sorry!)
- If you want to make screenshots, use F8. The .pngs should be in the folder "tri_Data/screens".
- To display the current frames per second, press F10.
- In case of problems, mail us with the "output_log.txt" you find in the "tri_Data" folder and/or save files (ending ".tri") in the "%appdata%\LocalLow\Rat King Entertainment\TRI\saves" folder. (This is the case for the Windows version.)
- In case of perfomance problems, experiment with the settings in the Options->Performance screen. (There you can also change the screen resolution.) We found that lowering the quality of SSAO has the biggest impact.
- KNOWN ISSUE: On MacOSX and Linux, the textures on most of the walls have ugly gray lines. This will hopefully be fixed soon (by Unity Technology).
- Always remember, this is an alpha version!
