MindFlight - 3D action game

Earth is about to be seized by alien power. You are who is going to save the planet. Apart from this "standard" node, the rest of the scenario is quite original, because of novelty brought in with MindDrive(tm), a new physiological input device, designed especially for game applications by The OTHER 90% Technologies, Inc. So, the game is "mind-controlled" and this is an inherent part of the plot.

We at SoftLab-Nsk, in our part, have designed all the graphics and animation for this game. It was by no means an easy task to achieve all those things, but we think we have coped with it OK. Judge for yourself.

In MindFlight we have full-motion, or "6D", control, and it gives lively sense of flight. Otherwise why would it deserve to be called MindFlight? The game is extremely diverse - somewhere it is a labyrinth game and somewhere is a flight simulator. There you will see open space scenes - mountain view and marine coast; and closed space ones - corridors, caverns and tunnels - all different; a valley burned by aliens and artificial constructions built by alien civilizations. In those environments you will be met by aliens themselves, with their saucers and ships, who will shoot you with lasers, fireballs and whatever else they may have at hand. All this is accompanied by 3D-sound effects and stereo music, of course. The visual effects include explosions, laser beams, various missiles, a transparent waterfall and lighting effects.

The aliens act plausibly - we employed behavioral models of interaction with the environment to control them.

The textures were rendered with the proper lighting on Silicon Graphics workstations.

All that graphics, animation and sound was made with use of our Virtual World Inventor.

The scenario for the game was provided by The OTHER 90% Technologies.
