Elements Interactive Releases Mobile Game Engine Edge SDK 2.00

Zaandam, the Netherlands -- 31th October 2005 -- Elements Interactive B.V. releases the first public version of their mobile game engine Edge. The Edge SDK, with current version 2.00, supports the development of true multi-platform mobile games for Windows Mobile Pocket PC, Windows Mobile Smartphone, Symbian Series 60, Symbian UIQ and Windows desktop.

Key features of the Edge SDK include true multi-platform development, high-performance graphics, RGBA surfaces and PNG support for all platforms, 3D graphics and both Bluetooth and TCP/IP network support.

'As we are mobile game developers ourselves, the design and development of Edge was aimed on performance, a rich feature set and the creation of a true multi-platform mobile game development environment' says Danny Hoffman, Elements Interactive CEO. 'We wanted every feature to work on every supported platform.'

Licenses of the Edge SDK will be available for $950 for the first year and $650 for subsequent years. Danny Hoffman continues: 'With this relative low license fee, we wanted to create a solution for both small and large game studios. The Edge license enables game developers to do what they're good in: developing great mobile games. Edge takes care of the multi-platform issues.'

Edge licensees are entitled to create and release as many commercial games and applications as desired for all supported platforms during the licensing period. An evaluation version of the Edge SDK is also available.

Commercially available game titles like the action platformer Li-Nuggz, space shooter Blazar and popular multi-player puzzle game Quartz 2 are powered by Edge.
