Info updated: 15 Jan 97
From: James Ceraldi ceraldi@auroraworks.com I can now announce that we will be using AHI as the audio system for Zone 99, our first game release. To keep in line with our development strategy, we want to support and use RT audio. Instead of using Paula via the OS directly as we have been doing in alpha testing, we are now going to go through AHI only. AHI must be used to hear sound and music. The AHI archive will be distributed along with the game on the cd and installed during the initial game setup. We feel that not only does this decision support higher-end users with sound cards, giving them superior audio for gameplay, but by programming the game to use AHI instead of Paula direct, we promote an audio system that can help take Amiga users to a new generation Amiga with little to no compatibility problems. A new version of AHI could be created for the new machine and a new driver written for the computer's audio chipset. AHI is a good system which is only going to get better, and it deserves to have our full support. -- James Ceraldi Aurora Works www.auroraworks.com
