Someday, you will upgrade your computer, right? Lugaru 2 will be around when you do that.

However, the graphics will be very customizable. You will be able to tone them down in the meantime.

Customizable enough to run a 400 MHz G4 mac? With 64 MB of VRAM?

Sorry, but I seriously doubt that.

It could probably run on that, though very slowly.

I guess this means my 1.44Ghz with a 128 mb vram card will run slow also.

harhar, That might be able to run Black and white 2

Well thats good to know since I have been saving up to upgrade it to a 1.25-1.5 Ghz with more RAM and so on, and even if I don't have the money by then I have an 800 Mhz machine.

A ATI Radeon 9000 can run on Black And White 2?

Really, it is way too early to tell.

Not THAT slow.

This grass can't be textured, and every... well... blade of grass can have only one color?
It'd be interesting to see it in action.

The blades of grass are obviously shaded and have multiple colors.

Each blade of grass is made up of tons of textures.

will the textures still be available to edit like they are in L1, or will we have to get a graphics extractor?

It will be very editable.

but with so many different textures, will editing on blade of grass take an hour? I have school starting, and I am trying to get kicked out (a long story) so I will have the time to do a lot of editing in the school year, but I dont want to overwork myself
