Marble-Eyes Development has announced the release of a further add-on to the popular Genetic Species. Marble-Eyes Development have made history for an Amiga game as it goes 24Bit which means 16777216 colours per pixel. The human eye recognizes only about 14 million colours but you'll get 2 million extra.
In order to support the 24bit screenmodes in Genetic Species they had to re-write all the functions which access the display screen. It has been a lot of work for them but the result has certainly paid off for those who have purchased Genetic Species. Marble-Eyes Development have described it as "simply amazing" with the speed adequate to play at. Below is a speed test that they conducted to prove that it doesn't go at an unbearable speed. |
