Anthelion game announced

[Peter Balogh]

Having kept it a secret for over half a year, it's time to show everyone what we've been up to lately:
PDAmill is pleased to officially announce Anthelion, a full 3D space shooter game for the Pocket PCs. The game is currently in alpha version (meaning we're still working hard) and release date is set for 1st of August. The game features our increadible 3D engine, a compelling story, kicking aliens in the tentacle and music by Jason Surguine. So here are the pictures:

Wow... The question I have is, will it run on my old iPAQ 3765?

Can't wait, looks amazing

What's so amazing about the graphics on this? It looks good, but nowhere near the awestricken comments it's receiving. It's a space game - ie no polies are wasted for ground, and so on.

Top notch work though, can't wait to see how the gameplay pans out. Hope Jaybot puts higher quality tuneage on his page after release too :P

<sarcasm>I think it looks like garbage. Donkey Kong had better graphics. Is that the best you can do?!?</sarcasm>

There, does that make the people who don't care for the positive feedback happy?

Glad I could be of service.

SERIOUSLY though, it looks very, very good, and I for one look forward to playing a demo. If it plays as good as it looks, it just might be the final straw that makes me do away with my E-125 (ahem... I'm just going to not ask about MIPS support, lest you die of laughter and not finish it).

The graphics are good, but I think it's another Escape Velocity rip-off. That isn't a bad thing though, since Escape Velocity has very fun gameplay.

Basically, you get a ship, you have money, you can fight and blow ships up, interact with planets and spacestations, a good way to get cash is to transport goods and haul cargo. Also, you can buy new ships, and several different weapon modifications.

I could be totally wrong, however.
