New adventure game Dagger
Playlogic Entertainment - an independent worldwide publisher of entertainment software - has acquired the hack and slash adventure game “Dimensity” from Bulgarian developer Dagger Games. The latest addition to Playlogics line up is set for release on PC in the second quarter of 2008. In total Playlogic expects to publish 6 to 8 new titles in Q1 of 2008.
Dimensity reveals an epic and complex tale of honor, loss and betrayal in a gritty fantasy setting. Choose between two races in massive single player campaigns to unravel the path of the heroes of the humans and the opposing ‘Triends’ to discover who will dominate the world of Dimensity in the end. Choose online play and battle up to three friends in the Multiplayer mode.
Dimensity is a hybrid hack and slash adventure game and features light RPG and RTS elements including character development. Its 3D engine features advanced terrain and particle rendering, normal mapping and per pixel lighting.
Rogier Smit, Executive VP of Playlogic: “We are very glad to be working with the Dagger team in Bulgaria. They have developed great technology and tools over several years and managed to successfully implement these in “Dimensity.” Together with the Dagger team our production department is making final changes, fine tuning and balancing gameplay and setting up the required marketing & PR activities”.
Hristo Velchev, Managing Director Dagger games: Trough all of these years of development we put a lot of effort and emotion in this title and I am very pleased “Dimensity” will be introduced worldwide by PlayLogic. We believe our collaboration will be a good starting point for a long time partnership. We hope people who play our game will enjoy it as much as we did creating it.”
