Slant Six Games Brings Cinematic Movie Innovation to Mobile Games with Galactic Reign

(March 16, 2013)

Vancouver, British Columbia (PRWEB) March 16, 2013

Launching for Windows 8 devices, Galactic Reign, a turn based space strategy game by Microsoft Game Studios and Slant Six Games, redefines the game experience through unique procedural cinematic rendering technology using the Slant Six Games Hexane game engine. The procedural rendering technology developed using the Hexane game engine, converts epic space battles within Galactic Reign into cinematic videos, using advanced rendering and special FX techniques

Dan Scott, Producer for Galactic Reign at Slant Six Games said, We are all thrilled to see Galactic Reign go live. The team worked very hard on this ground breaking and unique game and we are all very proud of the results. Using Hexane, Slant Six Games created tools to facilitate the creation of an Action Library Database which contains over 1000 animation sequence templates, to construct exciting and accurate movies derived from the game battle data, providing a virtually unlimited number of movies which can be generated. A suitably thrilling musical score to complement the action is created by the audio engine using a library of audio themes by award winning composer Tom Salta.

The cinematic rendering process takes place within a minute or so, a delivers a battle reenactment video of movie quality that is unable to be rendered on a mobile device. Using cloud technology, multiple players can be served simultaneously, and each player is given a unique movie from their perspective, one is a winner and one will be a loser, as each player can have up to four fleets, one turn could mean a total of eight movies generated.

Galactic Reign is a two player turn-based strategy game set in space for the Windows 8 platform. Players can customize their ships and amass a veritable Armada to conquer the galaxy by taking control points or obliterating their opponent. With innovative rendering technology created by Slant Six Games, players are able to experience the battle cinematically through procedurally crafted movies. Galactic Reign offers a tailored game experience player actions, strategy, and cinematics create a unique experience new to mobile platforms.
