In Windstille the player will be placed in a foreign alien world
and has to find its way back into safety. Special focus will be on
getting the foreign world and the players character itself believable.
Exploration will be more needed than plain shoot action, even so
the players-character will be equipped with a multifunctional
war-suit, so he will be far from defenseless. The game will have
slow placed explore and seak sequences as well as more rough section
that will feature fast shoot and jump action. The game world should
be presented in a consistent state, enemies once destroyed should
not respawn automatically. The player is free to go forward and
backward in the world as long as the level design allows it.

are:
- Real tactics are useful in the game. For example, it is best to take the net
with a slow, low shot (backspin); it is best to play diagonal when you are
decentered horizontally, in order not to give angles; you should get back to
center and behind the baseline after the shot, in order not to be caught in
No-Man's-Land when the opponent hits
- The A.I. is very advanced and reflects those tactics;
- You have total control over the parabola described by the shot;
- The graphic gestures are realistic and elegant;
- Different players have different skills;
- The game is developed by a former tennis player;

The fantasy world called Mandicor is much like Tolkien's Middle-Earth and has

disadvantages within the game. While playing, you need to collect resources,
train large armies, and research items in order to create a more powerful
society and defeat the enemy. Campaigns, yet to be finished, will be based

You can choose in what direction LaTrine shall ask, and the selection of
the words or phrases will depend on how often you don't know the correct
translation for the respective phrase. This is a conventional way to drill
yourself in vocabulary. In addition to this package you need an
