Los Angeles, CA - 3/10/2003 -- The Independent Games Festival is the premier showcase for innovation in the computer games industry. This year, Wild Earth from http://www.superxstudios.com">Super X Studios has been recognized by the gaming industry and awarded three prizes: Innovation in Game Design, Innovation in Visual Arts, and the Seumas McNally Grand Prize.

Wild Earth is distinctive because of its AAA-quality design, with an interactive 3D environment that is made for all ages to enjoy. It is rare to see a non-violent game, targeted for the family market, that has such high production values and cutting edge technology.

Wild Earth sends players of all ages on a photo-safari through the plains of the Serengeti. What sets it apart from other family-oriented titles is the state-of-the-art 3D engine that it uses, developed over the last six years by Super X Studios, which brings the Serengeti to life with amazingly realistic wildlife and environments.

Wild Earth will be released for Christmas 2003. Interested parties can contact James Thrush at jthrush@superxstudios.com for more information.

This marks the second time that Super X Studios has won at the festival: their breakthrough title Far Gate (originally titled The Rift) won the Audience Award by popular vote in the 2000 Independent Games Festival. It was subsequently published in 13 countries.
