Pompolic : Call for Heroes Breaks sound barrier with English Musician

Serbia and Montenegro, September 13, 2006, Quotix Software - a games developer - are pleased to announce acclaimed film maker violinist and electronic composer, Zan Lyons has signed up to create original music for their forthcoming game 'Pompolic: Call for Heroes', a 3D action game with RPG elements set in a fantasy world.

Zan Lyons said;

"As a long time fan of role playing games I'm very excited to be involved in this project. Of particular interest are the real time action elements - something that hasn't really been done before in RPGs of this style."

"Musically, I'm going for a direct sound that maintains a constant sense of urgency. The sound will be radically different from what you usually hear in this type of game, Industrial rhythms are going to be used to create a sense of pacing while The use of live violin will engage the player emotionally. It's very important to me that the music and sound serve as more than just a disposable background element and instead aid in the telling of the story.

Attila Siladji said;

"Working with Zan on the music for the game will be a new exciting period in the development. With original music, which will be radically different from usual, we will raise the tense atmosphere to a higher level and enrich the whole game play experience. It will be more than just a background element."

The Story:

Many years ago, a dimensional portal to the Outer Worlds was suddenly opened, and an enemy from the darkness encroached upon our world. Led by Pompolic, these armies of demonic hordes quickly overran most (but not all) of the planet. The origin of Pompolic is not known, but it is sure that this malevolent spiritual being possesses supernatural power, and his desire is obvious, possess the people and turn them into fellows of his dark army. The evil is spreading its power via his servants; the Dark Souls. These Dark Souls - protected by a horde of monsters - are poisoning the minds of his victims and making them slaves of evil. The denizens of this world are on the edge of total annihilation. However, a little hope still exists in the heart of the remaining citizens. They believe that there are brave hearts who can save the world from the source of the evil power. If the Dark Souls were to be captured, the onslaught would stop, and Pompolic would be defeated; the call for heroes is made...
