Some Virtools news … Wii, MP, 4.x

Filed under: Virtools — dominique @ 11:18

Looks like Virtools added a new product page for their Virtools Dev Wii PlugIn. The interface looks quite similar to the PSP extension.

It also seems that the team resumed working on DEV to bring the next, probably minor, update in Q1 2008.

Also scheduled for Q1 is Virtools's new flagship product: MP (Multiplatform). They have been working on this for years now. One year ago they were in alpha and probably during winter in beta. MP will be no replacement for DEV but an additional product although it's certainly a NextGen DEV.  The target market is on one hand Console games producers (XBox360, PS3) but on the other hand they also will have support for PC, probably with a webplayer and new (DassaultSystemes?) web-services. Maybe MP even comes with schematic programming for shaders and maybe even considers thausend of other improvements the DEV online community suggested over the past years.

Rumours say that MP will cost 3 or 4 times as much as DEV.

  1. would be great to see some of these Virtools 4 Building Blocks for Wii, Wii Specific Building Block, and VSL for Wii runtime, made available for ‘normal’ Dev 4.0, so we could implement it for small non commercial demo’s (keeps on dreaming ….)

    Dom, do you know if Dev and MP can share source files??

  2. I hope too this extension will be available for all of us (not only the "big $companys$ that use Virtools", although there're other aproximations to integrate the wii controller in virtools. Could be MP  the impulse virtools comunity need?
