| Penumbra: Overture for Linux Is Ready Frictional Games presents the Linux version of Penumbra: Overture Episode 1. Penumbra: Overture is a first person survival horror game, which runs on the internally developed HPL-Engine. An engine that is now cross-platform, soon to be supporting the Mac OS X platform as well. The "port" to Linux has been developed by Edward Rudd, who can also take credit for the upcoming Mac release. The HPL-Engine has from it's initial design process been developed with portability in mind, utilizing cross-platform technologies such as OpenGL, OpenAL, Collada and AngelScript. This has enabled the Linux and Mac development to go much smoother, making the Linux release possible soon after the Windows release. The Mac version is slightly delayed due to some unfortunate bumps in the road, but Frictional Games hopes to have overcome these in a not too distant future. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Game News :: home page |
