Deer Avenger 3D

Simon & Schuster and Hypnotix

Simon & Schuster Interactive (www.ssinteractive.com) is the consumer software publishing unit of Simon & Schuster, Inc. Based in New York, the company is the Codie Award winning publisher of the best-selling parody Deer Avenger series, and numerous critically acclaimed children's software titles.

Hypnotix (www.hypnotix.com) is an American game development company with several blockbuster game titles under its belt, namely the entire Deer Avenger series.

Challenge: Bring a Sucessful Game Series into Interactive 3D

With the ongoing success of the Deer Avenger series (the 10th most popular PC Game of 1999 from PC Data), Simon and Schuster wanted the latest interactive 3D technology for its sequel, and they wanted it fast. Hypnotix was charged with producing Deer Avenger 3D in record time.

For their first foray into the world of interactive 3D game production, Hypnotix looked to Virtools for software solutions that would give them the initial boost they needed and ensure project success.

Solution: Behavior Technology and User-Friendly Development Platform

Virtools Dev 2.0, with its real-time 3D rendering engine, behavior technology and user-friendly development platform, became the powerful catalyst that enabled Simon and Schuster and Hypnotix to make their first interactive 3D production. With the smooth production process inherent in Virtools software solutions, they created and shipped the eagerly-anticipated sequel in a record-breaking time of 5 months. The team was comprised of a 3 developers, one graphic artist and a project manager.

Customer Quote

"After having great success with our prior Deer Avenger 2D titles, we wanted to create a 3D version. However, we only had an extremely short amount of time and needed a stable program to work with. After scanning the market for an efficient development tool, we found that Virtools offered us all the flexibility and versatility we needed. Virtools was the 3D solution we were looking for. It was easy, quick and allowed us to jump right into production. We chose Virtools Dev and didn't look back."
