Vision Game Engine

Eningen, Germany – Oct. 13, 2009 - Trinigy, an industry leading 3D game engine provider with over 100 licensees and offices in Germany and Austin, TX, continues to expand its business with a new deal to develop an online version of Sony Pictures Entertainment’s Planet 51 animated film produced by Zed Group’s sister company, Ilion Animation Studios. Zed will use the latest version of Trinigy’s Vision Engine to accelerate development and real-time rendering of the unique alien world found in the online gaming universe.

Planet 51 is a reverse alien invasion story centered on the “people” who inhabit Planet 51 and who live in fear of being invaded by beings from another planet. The movie and console version of the game will both release in November of 2009. Zed’s online gaming universe is slated for launch in November 2009 as well.

“We have been working with Trinigy for many years now on a wide range of projects,” said Christopher Head, director of production innovation at Zed. “Trinigy has proven time and again that its flexible game engine is the premiere development platform for console and online games alike. Coupled with Trinigy’s superior support and thorough understanding of our technical needs, we could not ask for a better technology partner for a game as high-profile and important as Planet 51 Online.”

“With its thrilling alien environments and massive multiplayer support, Planet 51 Online is certain to excite players of this unique universe,” said Dag Frommhold, managing partner at Trinigy. “As always, we’ve thoroughly enjoyed working with the talented team at Zed on this project and employing our flexible technology to bring this game to life.”
