Q: What engine are you using to create the game and what kinds of special effects is the engine capable of producing that will immerse gamers into this world?
A: We took the latest version of the Champions of Norrath engine and made our own adjustments to give some of the best graphics I've seen yet on a PS2. In fact, when I first began showing the game off on a DVD people thought I was showing a high end PC game. The graphics are a combination of fantasy and photo realistic. When the player walks around they will see that there is elegant animation everywhere from signs swinging to the leaves blowing in the trees. Much of the perspective is seen from top down and we've made those screens dramatic by bringing things like trees and roof tops way up into the foreground. We have great particle effects, big spells and top notch art from our outstanding art team.
