- the 3d shooter SHOGO will be ported to Amiga PPC
OK, for all those that are eager for new games, here's a press release
from the new company Hyperion.
Hyperion is pleased to announce that it has (in close co-operation with
Stuart Walker from Digital Images) acquired the rights from Monolith to port
'Shogo', the highly acclaimed PC game, to the Amiga.
Shogo is a high-end 3D shooter with anime/manga (Japanese cartoons) elements
and is based on the LithTech (tm) engine developed by Monolith
(www.lith.com).
As part of the deal with Monolith, Hyperion will port the LithTech engine,
which is the most advanced 3D game engine around, to the Amiga for future
licensing by Monolith.
Shogo will require a PPC equipped Amiga (WarpOS) and will take full
advantage of 3D accelerators through Warp3D.
No release date has been set yet but it is likely this will be 3rd quarter
of 1999.
The Hyperion team consists of Thomas and Hans-Joerg Frieden (Warp 3D
co-authors), Christian Sauer who was involved with various projects like
Descent, and others.
Hyperion is a newly founded Belgian-German software company dedicated to
bringing high-end PC titles to PPC equipped Amigas.
For those that don't know Shogo, it is some game similar in concept to
Quake or Unreal. The game itself has an Anime-Style background and is
centered around MCA's, or Mobile Combat Armours, which are some kind of
BattleMech's.
The game is pretty high-specced, and will most likely be PowerPC-Only...
For futher information, here's a list of links:

- 25.04.99:
-
- added Warp-Hexen V1.4 !
Sound (with DMX-emul library) added !
- 15.04.99:
-
- added Heretic V1.0 !
Get this ! All CGFX-bugs should be removed now ! ;)
- added updated version of DMXemul-library (V40.23)
It is needed for music in Hexen (Christian Sauer)
- Added the following statement of Alive Mediasoft which forced me to
remove the WAD-files. In my opinion it is very selfish policy to use the ports
of games made by amiga-enthusiasts without any thought of profit and sell them
together with the data-files for the price of a new game. Please send your
comments to Steven Flowers of Alive
Mediasoft...
Greetings. My name is Steven Flowers, I am director and owner of
Alive mediasoft in England.
It is good to see that your web site is supporting these great
ports over to the Amiga, because its very important for the Amiga to
be seen to be in the running with other platforms.
I use this site myself to keep up to date with the new executables for
each game.
What saddens me thogh is when I see that you have decided to also put
up the FULL versions of each game. This has put myself and my company
into a very difficult position. You see, as each game was converted,
Alive mediasoft has pumped hundreds and hundreds of pounds into
advertising each game all over the world in major Amiga magazines, as
well as buying substantial amounts of stock. We also sell to all
major trade companies such as Epic Marketing and Weird Science.
I'm sure you're now getting the general idea of my email.
We cannot tolerate piracy within this market. It will bring the Amiga
down.
I am sorry to so blunt but for the sake of my company and the market I
must give yo notice to remove the full versions from your site
immediately.
I will wait 7 days from today (30th March 99). If you have not
complied with this email we will have no alternative but to take
further action.
I appreciate these things can take time. We're not unreasonable, if
you want to contact us to discuss please feel free to. I'd be glad to
hear from you.
Yours faithfully,
Steven Flowers
Director Alive Mediasoft Ltd.
