• Games are being optimized to be digitally distributed (many strong audio/video/code compression algorithms integrated).
• Common game logic, but different assets quality and effects for each platforms.
• Optimized for certain types of games [please inquiry].

• Wii [finished, in-testing, ready to release in end of Q2]
• PC [finished, in-testing, ready to release in end of Q2]
• Xbox360 [in-dev, ready to release in Q3]
• PSP [early state, ready to release in Q3/Q4]

• Currently it's being used to prototype first internal production based.
• With end of Q2 there are plans to start first Work-for-hire production based on Cross Engine.
• Currently there are no plans to release Cross Engine as a middleware on any platforms.

Overall

• Robust cross-platform engine supporting Xbox360, Wii, PC, PSP, Nintendo DS, iPhone, and more!
• Full hardware abstraction
• Fully automated assets flow - just hit one button to see Maya model in the game!
• Designed in the spirit of pattern oriented programming for easy extensibility

Network distribution

• Efficient assets compression
• Network data streaming
• Compressions of the game code
• Music formats that supports both bank-based and recorded playback

Scene

• Hierarchical scene graph representation
• Portal based culling algorithm for interior scene representation
• Automatic occlussion culling, level-of-detail and transparent data streaming allowing creating almost unlimited game worlds!
• Support for high-level scripting language

Animation

• Dynamic skeletal animation system with real-time sequence blending
• Support for mo-cap pose matching
• Footskates minimalisation

Rendering

• Powerful rendering of high detail models
• Platform-dependent rendering strategy for even more efficiency, still being transparent for end-user
• Flexible material system allowing adding custom effect
