'Fantom Overdrive is a fast arcade style racing game that uses polygonal 3D graphics to render cars and tracks. The camera uses a birds-eye view, which gives the game a unique look and feel. The in-house developed 3D engine(N-Gine3D) updates the screen at a constant 20 frames per second, which results in fluent motion. Recorded races can be stored in 'Fantom' files. A 'Fantom is a ghost car that can be challenged, exchanged over Bluetooth or viewed in replay mode with multiple camera views. Players can also race head-to-head using two phones connected over Bluetooth. 'Fantom Overdrive offers two detailed tracks in a unique cartoon graphics style. More tracks will be available for download at a later stage. 'Fantom Overdrive'will be priced at $4.95.
OVERLOADED N-GINE3D TECHNOLOGY
Amsterdam, June 25th 2003
For the racing title 'Fantom Overdrive' Overloaded developed the N-Gine3D technology. N-Gine3D is a 3D engine capable of rendering complex polygonal scenes with full lighting and texturing at high frame rates. The N-Gine3D engine has been developed specifically for mobile devices. A strictly integer math pipeline ensures maximum performance. Advanced fixed point maths provide extremely stable graphics: No shaky texels, just rock-solid polygons. The engine and supporting tools have been optimized for low-memory situations; the 'Fantom Overdrive racing game is packed in a 230Kb installer. This means that a single 1.44" floppy could hold six games powered by N-Gine3D!
A list of engine features:
| | - Fast and accurate texture mapping with optional bilinear filtering
|
| | - Numerical stable fixed point 3D math pipeline
|
| | - Full hierarchical scene graph
|
| | - BSP tree support for perfect polygon sorting
|
| | - Camera's: Free, binded to object, look-at camera's
|
N-Gine3D loads scenes constructed in AC3D, a low-polygon modeling package.
AC3D in turn is capable of loading scenes build in 3D Studio Max.
