Boundless Planet

• It’s 3D. Many popular MMORTS games like Shattered Galaxy base their games in 2D environments. The BoundlessPlanet player, however, interacts with the game through a fully navigable 3D camera, and all player assets like vehicles and buildings are high quality 3D models with detailed textures.
• The planets are enormous, random, and round. Instead of a limited map designed inch-by-inch containing arbitrary borders that the player cannot pass, the planets of BoundlessPlanet are procedurally generated spherical worlds with over 600 square miles of land and water to explore. The features of the maps are designed by mathematically layering Perlin noise algorithms in very controlled ways. This means that no land feature is repeated, giving the worlds of BoundlessPlanet a natural and realistic feel.
• It’s fully persistent. A BP planet exists independent of its inhabitants, so whether or not you are playing, your empire is vulnerable to attack by other players. The game has many unique features designed to take advantage of this fact, including Under Attack Alert messages that can be sent to your cell phone, pager, or PDA when you or your allies are offline.
• Realistic resource management. Most mined resource-based games have an unrealistic global resource pool that allows them to mine a resource one place and magically use it in another. In order to accurately represent the importance of protected supply lines in a modern military, BoundlessPlanet treats iron and fuel like real substances that must be transported using cargo vehicles, opening up a whole new layer of strategy offensively and defensively.
• It’s played on land, sea, and air. Some MMORTS games like Navy Field are only played on water, others like Time of Defiance are only played with flying vehicles, but BP allows the player to build his empire with the full exploratory and military capabilities of an army, navy, and air force. To give the player the true sense that the his experience within the game is as analogous as possible to his understanding of real-world war and empire-building, BoundlessPlanet has gone to great lengths to allow players to build everything from long-range heavy artillery tanks to VTOL fighter jets to sea-faring transport freighters to hover tanks - and everything in between.

BP works on Windows 98, 2000, ME, XP (all with the latest updates), and has a minimum requirement of a Pentium III (or equivalent) 500MHz processor, 256MB of RAM, and a 56K internet connection. It is recommended, however, to have 512MB of RAM or more, a graphics card with the latest drivers, and a high speed internet connection.
