== Current state of development ==

The male spriteset with all the animations that are currently needed is finally completed now. Thanks to all the artists who contributed to this fine piece of art. The next big challenge will be the female spriteset.

When the players will gain additional posibilities like using spells or skills or when we will implement new ways of moving (like swimming or climbing) we will have to work on the spritesets again.

=== A draft for the female spriteset ===

Jetryl made a quick spriteedit of one animation phase of the male spriteset to make a female version for some hairdesign experiments:

12, 6 and 4 frame versions.

== Comments ==
* [[User:BjÃ¸rn|BjÃ¸rn]]: I've made the 6 frame versions by simply deleting all even frames in your animation. In my opinion it's still a fine animation and it's saving quite a bit of work. For the 4 frame version I have created a single neutral stand frame and used the two leg extremes, so it's actually only 3 different images.

* [[User:Neko-mon|Neko-mon]]: I made little fixes in the 12 frames image.

* [[User:moltheni|moltheni]]: Can I make some sprites too? If you tell me what is needed (and what others are doing) I can help! p.s.: Aren't the eyes of the sidewalk sprites too much.. ehm... on the bottom (sorry for the english)? and the shadow of the legs of the back-standing-pose-frame is inverted.

* [[User:Bear|Bear]]:If you want to do something in Graphics, contact Rotonen, OR you can ask me about a few things. It might not be my part to lead graphics, but it would be good to get some monsters done. *just a critic* :D

* [[User:ElvenProgrammer|ElvenProgrammer]]: moltheni, you can contact me as well. Feel free to propose improvements to the spriteset by Talaroc, especially on side walking and sit pose.

Archive:System requirements

Maniac: /* Performance chart */

== General guideline ==

The system requirements of TMW, as with any game, hugely depend on the kind of framerate you want. In general, you should be fine with a more or less recent (year 2001 and later) 3D accelerator card when running the OpenGL version. The software/SDL version probably heavily depends on your processor speed.

* '''Processor:''' 1 Ghz
* '''Memory:''' 64 MB
* '''Hard disk:''' ~25 MB
* '''Operating system:''' Windows, GNU/Linux or MacOS X

== Performance chart ==

Here is a list of systems and the respective framerate with TMW. Feel free to add a line of your own, add comments if you like or necessary. We need especially more data about FPS on lower end machines, and it would also be nice to see changes in framerate on the same machine with different versions of TMW.
