Hear hear! With the release of Mana 0.7, the Mana client can once again be used to play The Mana World.
Get it from manasource.org/downloads!
Check out beautiful Hurnscald at x2 scale with crisp fonts and Jewelry theme (Golden Delicious is available as well!):
To support current TMW, a lot of new features had to be added, like:
- Per-character gender and the "other/neutral" gender
- Particle effects on equipment
- Quest markers and Quest window
- Player item sprite replacements
- Text formatting in NPC dialogs
- Etc. etc.
Check out the full list of changes in the repository.
While this is a huge update, probably the biggest client release ever, I know many of the current players that are used to M+ or Manaverse will miss a feature here and there. This is where I hope some might be motivated to start looking into making their own improvements to the client. Maybe bringing your favourite M+ feature to Mana, or maybe something else entirely?
Whatever happens, I hope there will be people enjoying this new release. I certainly enjoyed working on it!
