Athlone developer Frantic to fulltime

Frantic Games , based in Athlone, are to take their PC game ‘1944 D-Day Operation Overlord’ into fulltime development. The developer is entering into DIT's HotHouse program.

Operation Overlord is set to be a first person shooter on a massive scale, with over 200,000 units, and a 24 hours battle. The firm is also planning ‘The Educational Cut’ version of the game for use in the classroom environment.

“1944 D-Day Operation Overlord is the simulation of an event. It does not strive to tell the story of one unit or one squad. Instead it endeavours to tell the story of the battle” states Frantic’s website, “The game at its core is driven by a highly adaptable AI system, this AI system controls over 250,000 units in real-time. Moving them all around the battlefield and adapting their orders, objectives and tasks to an every evolving battlefield”.

very nice job on the models, especially that Bren. Not only have I fired the Bren (the good aul FCÁ) but i've also tried to model it. Those are impressive IMO.
