COMING SOON

THE FINAL ODYSSEY - This masterpiece of a game will be released at the end of November best described as an Action/Adventure/Puzzler, the Final Odyssey combines detailed and entertaining graphics and gameplay to perfection. You play the part of Theseus on his quest to free six rather lovely maidens from the evil clutches of the Minotaur. The Final Odyssey is so vast that we have been unable to reach the end (somewhat disturbing as we're supposed to be testing it) but then rather unsurprising as some of the levels reconstruct themselves everytime you play......

Peter Spinaze is Vulcan's multi talented developer of this fine game. The beautifully crafted graphics in The Final Odyssey have won Peter a scholarship at Silicon Studio which is a state of the art international facility dedicated to training digital artists.

Silicon Studio is one of only 3 flagship training centres world-wide and is the most advanced digital media training centre in the industry in the Asia Pacific region to date.

Peter's particular scholarship is a 3D Animation scholarship. He is using Alias/Wavefront PowerAnimator as his 3D Rendering software and using the latest Silicon Graphics hardware. The same gear they used to make Jurassic Park etc. The hardware consists of O2's, Octane's, and an Onyx2 Infinite Reality supercomputer.

We are all very proud of him here at Vulcan but not at all surprised.

Kind Regards
