ALIEN JIHAD™ PRESS RELEASE
Bedford, UK:
Candella Software Ltd, KrazyMotion and Saga Wonderworks are pleased to announce Alien Jihad™ for the PC, iOS, Android and home consoles.
In the tradition of the classic arcade shooters from the years past, Alien Jihad pits you as humanity’s saviour against hordes of alien invaders.
Background Story:
It was a time of great peace for mankind. All conflicts on earth had come to an end.
In the Middle East, Israelis and Palestinians stopped fighting and started to party together. Tel Aviv became the capital of New Palestine. Saudi Arabia became the world’s biggest proponent of mini skirts. Iran joined North Korea and the United States in the new Axis of Peace. Afghanistan became the world’s safest country and Somalia became the largest economy.
In enlightened Europe, France stopped persecuting Roma ‘alien’ migrants. In bankrupt Britain, the honourable Members of Parliament decided not to fiddle their expense claims and rip off the tax payer.
And then came the alien invasion……….
Hundreds of aliens from the planet Virginopolis invaded Earth. Using their advanced Fatwa technology, they turned greedy Wall Street investment bankers into ravaging alien clones.
Many nations rebelled against the alien invaders.
“We are the aborigines of this land.” proclaimed Dick Puffin, the leader of the British Nazi Party. The former Australian Prime Minister, Mr. Howard, said, “We must invite these aliens to a cricket match. And after they lose, we must do to them what we did to the aborigines.”
The wise geriatric Italian Prime Minister, Saint Silvio, while receiving an oil massage from his new underage girlfriend, Ruby, issued a public statement saying, “Our culture is far superior to theirs. It’s much better to love bunga bunga girls than these aliens.”
Giving an unbiased view on Fox News, the great American rabble rouser, Fat Buchanan said, “These aliens pose a clear and present danger to our superior Anglo-Saxon culture.”
Soon it became a struggle for the very soul of humanity.
A brave group of human rebels led by fearless Danish cartoonists fought back against the aliens and their Wall Street clones.
The battle still rages over Earth’s great cities like London, Paris and San Francisco………..Are you ready to join the fight?
Social Networking Features
Alien Jihad is designed to be played via social networking sites.
Players can upload their game scores to sites such as Facebook, update friends about their in-game achievements and invite them to co-op single player sessions. The game will also be playable inside a browser.
“We designed Alien Jihad to bring back the simplicity and instant thrill of the great arcade shooters from the 1980’s and the FMV games of the early 90’s,” says Ajith Ram, Creative Director of the game. “We are certain that the game will bring that same excitement to a whole new generation of gamers.”
Trophies
The trophies that can be won in the game include Greedy Banker, Infidel, Foreclosure King, Bailout Champion, Day of Rage, Tea Party and many more…….

Candella Licenses Qube’s ‘Q’ Engine for PS2
Candella Systems Ltd.
has become the first game studio to licence Qube Software’s ‘Q’ game middleware for the Sony PlayStation®2, saying that the engine represents the industry’s ‘first truly studio-wide solution’.
The brainchild of Direct3D creators Servan Keondjian and Doug Rabson, ‘Q’ was launched at GDC in February 2008. Keondjian and Rabson created ‘Q’ to offer developers unrivalled power, flexibility and potential for customisation.
Q’ is designed to work on all the latest consoles and DX10 PCs and to push them to the limits of their capacity, but it’s also lean enough to perform exceptionally on the PS2. Candella’s CEO Ajith Ram says that was a key factor in his decision to adopt ‘Q’.
“Q outscored all the other systems we evaluated on three counts,” Ram said. “Firstly it’s compatible with a wider range of systems than any other engine. Secondly it’s the only serious engine whose latest iteration is PS2 compatible and thirdly we think it is simply much better value for money than its competitors.”
Candella’s CEO also likes the way Q is configured; as a series of modular plug-ins around a flexible framework that makes it easy for studios to customise ‘Q’ and add their own elements as they wish.
“Unlike many other types of middleware, Q is not genre-specific,” Ram said. “Therefore, it can be used for any type of game and given the multiple platforms it is available for one could say it’s the first truly studio-wide solution.”
“If we develop a plug-in during the course of one project its easy to use it or build on it for another; so our development work is cumulative. We can build a library of plug-ins. Nothing is wasted,” he said.
Candella has won a strong reputation for itself as an outsourcing partner working on titles such as Juiced (PlayStation 2, PC), Stubbs the Zombie (PC, Xbox) and The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift (PlayStation 2, PSP). Candella’s forthcoming PS2 title has been commissioned by Sony for the Indian market. Sony invited Qube CEO Servan Keondjian to speak at India’s inaugural DevStation™ Mumbai 08 in April.
“The event in Mumbai made it abundantly clear just how much life the PS2 has in it as a console,” Keondjian said. “Indian studios are clearly excited by its potential and there was huge interest in ‘Q’ as a middleware solution that brings out the very best in the PS2.”
Shahid Ahmad, the Technical Account Manager at SCEE responsible for developer relations in India, agrees that the PS2 has what he describes as ‘a long tail’.
Shahid Ahmad, the Technical Account Manager at SCEE responsible for developer relations in India, agrees that the PS2 has what he describes as ‘a long tail’.
Q is designed to work with all of today’s major platforms making it far easier to carry projects from one console to another. Q provides a flexible framework and core technology plug-ins that empower developers to extend and specialize wherever necessary. The core plug-in set includes cutting edge features such as:
Support for Arbitrary Scene Rendering Algorithms
Support for Programmable Shaders
Background Data Streaming
Texture Manager Capable of Handling Scenes with Many Gigabytes of Texture Visible on Screen
Cross-Platform Data Format
N-Dimensional Animation Blending
Background Work Queue
3D Editor which Allows Both Core and Custom Plug-Ins to Run Live Inside the editing environment
“Q’s renderer and background data streaming alone are going to excite a lot of PS2 developers,” said Q Program Manager Jamie Fowlston. “Those are just two key features that most studios would probably rather not have to write for themselves and using Q allows them to concentrate their efforts on the art content and gameplay, in other words the key areas that shape the user experience.”
“Obviously game content will have to be appropriate for the PS2’s technology – but that’s simple given Q’s scalability; it can do big, it can do small. The point is it makes the process easy,” Fowlston said.

Pyroblazer Press Release
Wellingborough, UK:
Candella Systems Ltd and Eipix Entertainment are pleased to announce Pyroblazer™, a futuristic combat racing game for the PC, Nintendo Wii ® & Sony PSP ®.
Set amidst the awe-inspiring locations of New Apeiron, players get the opportunity to race through a multitude of environments using a wide selection of anti-gravity craft known as Blazers. In their quest for glory, players can blast their way through the scorched valleys of Gnosis, the deserted cities of Haedra or the densely populated Underdome of Evelads. As the players fight their way through the championship, improved Blazers with better speed, handling and superior firepower become available. Players also have the ability to pick up weapon and ammo upgrades during the race, further enhancing their ability to land the killer blow. In addition to the single player modes such as Quick Race and Championship, Pyroblazer™ will also offer players the ability to compete against each other in 6-player local and internet-based combat racing. Powered by Eipix’s proprietary Ultra Engine and Ageia’s PhysX ™ middleware, the game offers racing and sci-fi fans an experience unlike any other in the genre. Pyroblazer™ on the PC will be available to buy in June 2008. For more information about the game, publishing or digital distribution enquiries, Email
