Vienna, Austria - March 25, 2014 - John Gerrard Studio, an art-group of the Irish artist John Gerrard, who has already realized more than 70 sophisticated high-tech installations and art projects, publishes a new real-time 3D simulation, first-based on UNIGINE engine.

Highlights of the release:

• Added access to the renderer via C++ API
• Improved Qt integration samples
• Major extension of C++ API, including access to nodes, widgets, controls
• Added a small airport demo, showcasing point lights (they are visible even from very large distance) and directional sector lights
• Improved debugging for UnigineScript
• Added a real-time strategy game sample based on the Game framework

We are discontinuing support for DirectX 9 in order to deliver improved technology, starting from the next SDK update. More details will be announced soon.

Get ready for hot naval and air battles - right on the go - with Oil Rush. This full-fledged strategy game in the beautiful post-apocalyptic scenery is available for iOS now in addition to the previous release for Android. Read more in the official press-release.

The Steamship Simulator developed by Ai3D became a highlight of the Bass Strait Maritime Centre Devonport located in Tasmania, Australia. The simulator is powered by the powerful and versatile UNIGINE Engine and provides a virtual experience of captaining a ship of the beginning of the last century into the Mersey River. It successfully completed beta testing and was even captained personally by the Prime Minister of Australia, Julia Gillard.

UNIGINE Corp. sets a new visual standard in the simulation and training industry with a preview of its next-generation technology demo. The project has the cutting-edge UNIGINE Engine under the hood and showcases a simulation of a rescue helicopter operation with an extreme level of detail while running on consumer-level hardware.

As of today, Oil Rush, the epic naval strategy game, comes together with the Humble Indie Bundle 8. It is a unique, pay-what-you-want offer available for less than seven days, and this fascinating 3D game is unlocked as one of the bonuses if more than the average contribution for a bundle is paid. The game is an independent project by UNIGINE Corp. developed in-house and based on the proprietary UNIGINE Engine.

The game supports Linux (as a standalone application) from the very beginning, so we are really happy that finally Linux users can enjoy hot naval battles with the whole Steam community (cross-platforms multiplayer matches are available). Fight for the last drop of oil and try to survive!

UNIGINE’s Valley Benchmark, which features an enormously vast outdoor 3D environment filled with lush forests, is coming bundled this spring with groundbreaking EVGA GeForce GTX graphics cards. This all-new comprehensive benchmarking tool from the lineup of trusted benchmarks from UNIGINE Corp., is already acclaimed by users and industry professionals as a miraculously beautiful yet efficient GPU stress-testing tool for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. Valley accurately measures GPU performance and tests its reliability under graphics-intensive and technologically advanced scenarios. Its workload will showcase robust and extremely reliable EVGA GeForce graphics cards at their best.

Oil Rush, an epic naval strategy game, is released for Android devices based on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon S4 chip. The game is already available on the Google Play Store and you can jump into the next-generation of 3D graphics, hardcore depth and touch-native controls directly on a mobile device. Oil Rush for Android is based on the proprietary multi-platform UNIGINE Engine, developed by UNIGINE Corp., alongside the Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X versions of the game that has been delivering excitement to gamers since January 2012.
