Oxide Games is partnering with leading graphics hardware manufacturers AMD and NVIDIA to examine the future of video games.
Oxide’s groundbreaking Nitrous engine brings game development into a new era with its film-like approach to rendering technology and unprecedented multi-core performance, which among other advantages allows games to present thousands of fully rendered units onscreen at once.
The Nitrous engine is already being used in the active development of three games published by Stardock: Oxide’s unannounced title, the first title from Soren Johnson’s Mohawk Games, and the upcoming Star Control reboot from Stardock.
The first talk will explain how to get the best use out of AMD’s Mantle API, with explanations of how the Nitrous engine achieves those goals:
