THE DARING ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD!

This game is just one of three epic point and click graphic adventure games
currently in development at the moment using the REALITY SOFTWARE
CONSTRUCTION KIT and is scheduled in for an August/September release. Most
of the development time is being spent on the actual game design and
graphics, as REALITY due to its user friendliness allows us to piece the
game together in hardly no time at all. The game as the title suggests is
based around the fables of Robin Hood and features all of the famous
characters like Friar Tuck and Maid Marion, to name but a few. The storyline
is set around Robin and his fight against Prince John and the Sheriff of
Nottingham. The game takes place throughout the surrounding landscapes of
Sherwood Forest with some scenes based inside Medieval castles and villages.
It is very similar to games like Monkey Island and Simon the Sorcerer in
that it uses a very similar game engine and is packed to bursting point with
lots and lots of humour. The final game will contain around 100 different
fully detailed graphical locations illustrated in over 100 colours on a
standard A500, with the A1200 version using the full 256 colour palette. A
lot of these screens will feature large amounts of background animation
which has been put together using REALITYS animation studio. For example, 
during the game you will notice things like little rabbits chasing each
other throughout the forest, torches flickering on walls, other games
characters going about their own business, little streams trickling along,
birds flying by in the sky and much, much more. The sound is also very
atmospheric in that in particular locations certain sample sound effects
will be incorperated into the background music. REALITY uses a state of the
art sound system and this allows us to achieve these sound and music
combinations very easily. For example, if you were walking by a fast flowing
river not only would you see it animating but you would also hear it flow by.
REALITY also uses very special new code compaction techniques which allows
us to put HUGE amounts of information on a single disk. This is allowing us
to squeeze the game unto a minimal amount of disks which will eventually
result in very little disk swapping for the player. The completed game will
also be hard disk installable.  With extremely intelligent computer
characters who you will have to communicate and confer with, combined with
some very tricky and difficult puzzles to be solved, there should be enough
here to keep even the most hardened adventure freaks occupied for a very,
very long time. 


SPACEFIGHTER


Another game currently being released and having also been developed using
REALITY is "SPACEFIGHTER". As the screenshots will show this game is yet
another "STREETFIGHTER II" style beat 'em up, only set in different
locations spread throughout the known Universe! Although at first it sounds
much like "BODY BLOWS GALACTICA" from TEAM17, it not only surpasses this
game in the technical department, but it also features much more characters
to do battle with - 24 to be precise! This, as far as we can tell, is the
greatest amount of characters ever used in any beat 'em up game on any
computer or console format in existence, except for some recent releases
like "TEKKEN II" on the Playstation. The many different computer opponents
use very clever artifical intelligence techniques to make them as realistic
as possible! Some of the weird and wonderful characters will be instantly
recognisable as we have borrowed all sorts of alienesque style beings from
many different sources including "STAR TREK", "BABYLON 5", "PREDATOR",
"ALIENS", "DR WHO" and many other well known televison series and films.
The game engine features real time sprite flipping routines which allows us
to store the different graphic images of the characters in only one
direction resulting in much less disk swapping. With multiple special moves,
fighter statistics, a league table, eight different competitions, detailed
graphical backdrops in over 200 colours, digitised speech, sampled sound
effects, a 50 frames per second update rate combined with superfast action
and mountains of playability, this game should surely not only
establish itself as one of the top beat'em ups ever to grace the AMIGA range
of computers, but should also be regarded as one major blow to some of the
console competitors!

REALITY - THE STORY!

The REALITY software construction kit has evolved over a four year period
and was orignally designed to enable in house software production to be much
easier and faster than normal. With a large range of our own software
development utilities available we decided to expand on it and try to
produce something that was never done before! This presented us with a HUGE
challenge! A number of software construction kits and programming languages
have been available throughout the ages on all sorts of computer formats and
although they all fulfilled their purposes very well, a system had never
existed that gave even the most basic computer user the capability of
producing a varied range of commercial quality software products with so
much ease and friendliness - NOW it EXISTS!!

REALITY has been designed in such a way that it is very easy for us to
expand and update. It is currently having a superfast 3D extension added to
its existing system which will allow virtual reality style software to be
created very easily! This will be available in a future update release to
existing users. Already REALITY has been used to create two platform games,
three shoot'em ups, eight arcade adventure games, two beat'em ups, an arcade
poker machine conversion, two puzzle games, some story book software, a disk
magazine and other products all of which are available commercially. It has
also been used for a PD cataloguer and some demo software along with an
unknown amount of PD products. All of our own new projects including
SPACEFIGHTER and THE DARING ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD are also being
developed using the system with much, much more in the pipeline. Having only
been exclusively available via mail order for a few months it has already
obtained a solid track record which has proven that it really is quite
unique and that as far as we can tell no other software development system
has managed to have so much top software produced with it in such a short
period of time!

Our company intend to release a multitude of varied styles of both budget
and full price software products throughout the following two years and
beyond. Already we have received a number of great looking games, having
been developed by the 1000+ existing REALITY userbase and this combined with
our very own release schedules should provide a tasty range of new and
exciting AMIGA software products for the immediate and distant future!
The AMIGA will NEVER die with REALITY in it's disk drives!!

THE END!
