TIMONIUM<\/span>, MD<\/span>. \u2013 Jan. <\/b>30<\/b>, 2014 <\/b>\u2013 Oxi\u00adde Games has released today the first look at its next-gene\u00adra\u00adti\u00adon Nitrous engi\u00adne, Star Swarm<\/i>. The engi\u00adne demo, free\u00adly available for Win\u00addows PC<\/span> through Steam, demons\u00adtra\u00adtes the abili\u00adty of Nitrous-powered games to simu\u00adla\u00adte and dis\u00adplay thou\u00adsands of high-detail units in a sin\u00adgle scene.<\/p>\n

Star Swarm<\/i> is also one of the first publicly available demons\u00adtra\u00adti\u00adons of AMD<\/span>\u2019s ground\u00adbrea\u00adking Man\u00adt\u00adle tech\u00adno\u00adlo\u00adgy, which runs on AMD<\/span> gra\u00adphics chips based on the Gra\u00adphics Core Next archi\u00adtec\u00adtu\u00adre. By redu\u00adcing the pro\u00adces\u00adsing power was\u00adted on tra\u00addi\u00adtio\u00adnal dri\u00adver over\u00adhead, Man\u00adt\u00adle allows Nitrous to rea\u00adli\u00adze signi\u00adfi\u00adcant per\u00adfor\u00admance gains. In real-world terms, Man\u00adt\u00adle sys\u00adtems run\u00adning Star Swarm<\/i> can sus\u00adtain playa\u00adble frame\u00adra\u00adtes with hig\u00adher gra\u00adphi\u00adcal fide\u00adli\u00adty than non-Man\u00adt\u00adle configurations.<\/p>\n

Though not a game its\u00adelf, Star Swarm <\/i>is a demons\u00adtra\u00adti\u00adon of the new types of game designs that Nitrous enables. \u201cWe can\u2019t wait to see what game deve\u00adlo\u00adpers are able to do when they can count on thou\u00adsands of units all run\u00adning indi\u00advi\u00addu\u00adal AI<\/span> and phy\u00adsics, rather than limi\u00adting their designs to a rela\u00adti\u00adve handful of objects at a time,\u201d said Oxi\u00adde Games co-foun\u00adder Tim Kipp.<\/p>\n

Nitrous is available for licen\u00adsing by exter\u00adnal game deve\u00adlo\u00adp\u00adment stu\u00addi\u00ados, and alre\u00ada\u00addy has three games in acti\u00adve pro\u00adduc\u00adtion using the tech\u00adno\u00adlo\u00adgy. Stardock\u2019s Star Con\u00adtrol<\/i> reboot, Oxi\u00adde Games\u2019 own unan\u00adnoun\u00adced game, and the first title from Civi\u00adliza\u00adti\u00adon IV<\/span> desi\u00adgner Soren Johnson\u2019s Mohawk Games run on Nitrous. All three games are published by Stardock.<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>Nitrous is alre\u00ada\u00addy ope\u00adning up end\u00adless deve\u00adlo\u00adp\u00adment pos\u00adsi\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adties for our future games,\u201d said Stardock\u2019s CEO<\/span> and Pre\u00adsi\u00addent, Brad War\u00addell. \u201cAs a game deve\u00adlo\u00adper and stra\u00adtegy fan, no one is more exci\u00adted about this than I am.\u201d<\/p>\n
