Product Update Information. January 25th.

Following the press release a while back, Team17 wish to keep you informed
of product progress.

FULL CONTACT - The arcade-combat game is now finished and review copies
should be available in a week or two with release following in February.
We have decided to price this title at 19.95rrp due to it being a 512K
product. All other titles will be 1Meg based and be 24.95rrp. We feel that
the price should be lower due to the difference in 512K/1Meg product, we
want the public to notice this.

ALIEN BREED - Probably the first all-out Arcade title to be developed
specifically for the 1Meg amiga. Currently it is looking superb and we have
every confidence that it will represent a standard to which ALL subsequent
Amiga product will have to be judged. We`re trying hard not to get involved
in any hype, but it`s hard when everyone is buzzing about a title.. I think
we`ll settle for "not too bad at all...". We`ve spent two weeks on sound
effects alone and currently we`ve got around 50 in there, taking up around
100K but we`ll be adding snatches of speech and stuff according to what`s
happening in the game, the sounds evoke a great atmosphere particularly
highlighted when the emergency lights come on and the sirens/warnings
start! You can expect many samples and stuff in there too. We`re also busy
putting massive alien sprites in there, up to half of the size of the
screen - (full screen!). On the intro front we`ve recieved the four
animations that will go to make the game story/intro and these are superb,
courtesy of 3D master Tobias Richter, these are HAM animations using the
docking-bay backdrop we sent you last time. We are constantly adding new
traps and puzzles and have added a great computer-access facility with some
gorgeous visuals of the weapons available. Alien Breed should be just about
ready by late March. We`ll be in touch again when we have a version to show
you or we`ll post some more info in due course.

Best wishes,

Martyn Brown.
