Articles - Flight Engine

Flight Engine is our proprietary game development engine that we have developed here at Valorware. It was developed completely in-house and is extremely portable. We have two versions of the engine: one for mobile devices and another for PCs. The engine itself was designed to be extremely modular and portable, so the only difference between the two is what graphics, sound, and input libraries are used to handle these tasks. The mobile version utilizes the Marmalade SDK (formerly Airplay SDK) which allows deployment to several different mobile operating systems, while the PC version uses the DirectX and Windows SDKs. Currently, we have released a tech demo which demonstrates some of the capabilities of the mobile engine, as well as a gives a preview of our upcoming game, 9th Dawn. The tech demo can be downloaded for free on the Android Market; simply search for "9th Dawn" and you will find our market page. There is also a link to our market page on our website, www.valorware.com.
