Vision Engine 7.5 Profiled

Develop Magazine continues to profile the top video game engines available to developers, this time turning their attention to Vision Engine 7.5. In addition to powering Firefly's Dungeon Hero, you may recall a recent announcement that Arcania: A Gothic Tale is also being built with it.
(The feedback we get from our 100-plus licensees is that Vision is simply the best overall package,) says Dag Frommhold, managing parter at Trinigy. (The engine is completely genre-agnostic and is flexible enough to adapt to almost any project's needs, whether it's a casual game or triple-A title.)

Much effort has also been placed into Vision Engine's multi-platform capabilities, with extensive optimisations provided for each platform. Scenes and models can be examined live on the actual machine for instant on-target viewing, while console-specific features such as SPU balancing on PS3 and direct GPU to memory export on Xbox 360 ensure that performance is equal on comparable targets.
