Introduction to Atomontage 2024 Edition
Atomontage Inc., a deep tech company, has unveiled its plans to introduce game development features to its Virtual Matter platform in 2024. These features are set to revolutionize how developers create, interact with, and experience game environments across various devices.
GDC 2024 Showcase
During the Game Developers Conference (GDC) 2024, Atomontage Inc. will offer a sneak peek into these game development capabilities through private demos. These sessions will display the platform’s new functionalities, including a Lua scripting environment, terrain deformation, first-person navigation, weapon dynamics, and multiplayer capabilities across PC, mobile, and VR/XR devices.
Virtual Matter: A New Era of Interaction
Virtual Matter™ streaming microvoxel technology is at the heart of Atomontage’s innovation, enabling high-fidelity, deeply interactive social 3D experiences on nearly any device. This technology, which supports a broad range of applications from cultural heritage to bioimaging and construction planning, is now poised to transform video game development.
Key Features of the Game Development Demo
- First-Person Terrain Traversal: Atomontage introduces the ability to navigate detailed terrains, leaving a permanent mark in the form of footprints, enhancing the realism and immersion of first-person games.
- Microvoxel Deformation: Players can now dynamically alter the game environment through actions such as digging and explosions, directly linking terrain and object modification to gameplay elements like player health.
- Weapon Mechanics: The introduction of weapon mechanics allows for interactive object and terrain damage, with each projectile leaving a distinct impact, adding a layer of depth to combat and environmental interaction.
- Cross-Platform Multiplayer: Atomontage supports simultaneous user interaction across a wide array of platforms, including desktop, mobile, and VR/XR, facilitated by dedicated native applications.
Atomontage 2024 Edition Innovations
The 2024 Edition of Atomontage’s platform, announced in December following two decades of R&D, enables users to build detailed 3D worlds easily. This is achieved through features such as image-to-3D asset generation, a self-serve backend for content management, and tools for real-time collaborative editing. Additionally, the update offers performance enhancements, improved streaming for multiple users, and new possibilities for embedding 3D environments on the web.
Atomontage’s initiative represents a significant step forward in the integration of advanced simulation and graphics technology into game development, promising to offer developers unprecedented creative freedom and interaction capabilities.
