A company called Logik State has announced their 3D engine for GBA, with screenshots.

Discuss it in Talkback!

UK developer Logik State is showing off its new 3D polygonal engine for GBA, with screenshots at the link above. The screens show a car racing demo and a snowboarding demo. These could eventually become actual GBA games, but so far there is no publisher for them.

Here are some of the technical features, courtesy of Games Press:

  • 15->20 fps 3D on a primarily 2d platform in a real game situation

  • Over 2500 polygons per second when texture mapping the whole screen

  • Full UV affine texture mapped polygons

  • Full 6 Degree's of freedom

  • Full 3D collision system

  • Highly optimized ARM assembly

  • Object culling

  • Back-face culling

  • Particle system

  • N sided polygons

  • Supporting full 3D environments e.g. racing tracks,3D worlds

  • Object LOD support

  • 3D sprites support

  • Full parent child object hierarchy

  • Procedural texture support

  • Animated texture support

  • Animated camera(s) allow easy implementation of cut scenes and/or replays

  • Runs alongside a custom sound driver mixing 8bit digital PCM sound data with 6 channels for music and 2 channels for sound effects

  • Coupled with our custom sound driver this provides a complete solution for 3D graphics.

    The company says they'll have movies of the engine up at their website soon.
