<B>Eyetech launches Eye-Play, a Division Dedicated to Publishing High-end
Games Software for Next Generation Amiga</B>
<P>
Stokesley, North Yorks UK - Eyetech, recently chosen by Amiga as their partner for the manufacture
and distribution of the new Developer Workstation in the UK and Ireland, have launched
Eye-Play, a division dedicated to the publication, promotion and
distribution of top-end games for the Classic Amiga architecture and, more
significantly, for those currently in development which are designed to run
under the new Amiga.
<P>
In launching Eye-Play Group Managing Director, Alan Redhouse, said, "We
are very excited about the opportunities that the new Amiga OE offers both
to the existing Amiga Community and to the converts it will quickly make
from the wider leisure computing world. As with the
Classic Amiga, great gaming software is what will drive the growth and general
acceptance of the Amiga OE as the de facto standard in this market. We
therefore strongly believe that good gaming software is going to be
essential to the success of the Amiga OE in the end-user market. We
therefore
decided to launch Eye-Play now, well in advance of the end user version of
the Next Generation Amiga becoming available.
<P>
"As well as teaming up with the best of today's Amiga games developers, we
are also keen to help any new games writers make their fortune by promoting the
new Amiga SDK." The Amiga Software Development Kit allows platform-independenct development of rich multimedia software.
<P>
"No matter how keen we all are to see new Amiga titles, we will
apply the same rigorous standards of selection and quality assurance to the
Eye-Play titles that has been our hallmark in hardware and serious software
distribution. We only intend to distribute software which is both up market
and, in our opinion, worth the money in terms of delivered quality and
game play. As this is an area of quality assurance that can really only be
evaluated by a dedicated gamer who also has very strong Amiga knowledge to run the
Eye-Play
division."
<P>
As well as publishing their works Eyetech have also committed to help out
individual developers who are new to the platform by making their
officially endorsed EZDev-Plus and EZDev-Tower developer systems available on
concessionary terms.
<P>
Eyetech are also catering for the lower-specd Classic Amiga by making a
number of 68x00 classic Amiga games titles and compilations available -
mostly for purchase via download only. There will also be also be some
freely downloadable Classic games, and download demos of new and
work-in-progress titles for both Classic and Next Generation Amiga titles. The
Eye-Play
websites (<A HREF="http://www.eye-play.com">eye-play.com, eye-play.co.uk, eye-play.eu.com</A>) will be open for business from the
Eye-Play launch date on July 1, 2000.
<P>
Gary Peake, Director of Amiga Inc.'s support team said,
"We are
delighted that Eyetech, one of Amiga Incs first partners from the Classic
Amiga Community, has decided to endorse the new Amiga with such enthusiasm.
The new Amiga will bring tremendous benefits to games developers - both
new and established - by delivering truly amazing levels of multimedia
performance and binary compatibility across a wide range of hardware and
operating systems. We know Eyetech will bring a great deal of integrity and
professionalism to the serious gaming market and their dedicated Eye-Play
division will, I know, help spread the word about the New Amiga and its
talented developers to dedicated gamers everywhere and take us a
significantly nearer our ultimate goal of the implementation of the total
Amiverse vision."
