News: Intense 3D graphics on GBA
Posted 11 Feb 2002 at 13:39 by Tim Symons
UK based entertainment developers, AGB games, have created a few tools that would allow other developers to make games with advanced 3D games on Gameboy Advance or PDA platforms.
Their Gameboy Advance Rapid Application Development Software Developers Kit makes it possible to render 2D or 3D at high-speed.
Another tool they developed, called the Overhead Engine (OHE), is a game engine used to diplay 3D graphics from their proprietary game editor in overhead, side on, or first-person perspective.
But that is not all... AGB Games have also developed a windows based editor called Eddy. Using this tool developers can create and define all of the elements that go into creating a 3D game world.
This technical rambling above may not say anything to you... but in short it comes to the fact that the GBA can handle even more advanced 3D graphics than people have ever hoped for!
