Firefly Studios To Use NaturalMotion In Upcoming Dungeon Hero Game?

Gamecock and the London based Firefly Studios are developing a title called Dungeon Hero to be released on the Xbox 360 and PC. It is being described as the first authentic dungeon crawler, and from what we have seen of the game it seems extremely well thought out and unlike any other dungeon crawler we have seen to date. If that wasn’t enough, we stumbled upon some very interesting information during our chat with Firefly Studios.

In an interview we conducted with Lead Designer Simon Bradbury of Firefly Studios at this years EiEiO Conference in Santa Monica CA, they revealed to us that they are experimenting with NaturalMotion technology in their upcoming game Dungeon Hero.

Our ears perked when we hear this and they quickly realized that they said something that we were about to follow up on for some more information. All they would say is that they are experimenting with the technology, and that was all we really needed to hear.

Games such as Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, Indiana Jones, and GTA IV will all be using NaturalMotion. After seeing an example of what NaturalMotion is doing for of Lucas Arts and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed we were very eager to learn about other companies that may be using the technology. Check out the Endorphin Tech Demo of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed below.




With euphoria, canned animation is replaced by a full simulation of the 3D character, thus producing unprecedented interactivity and unique game moments. If you are not familiar with NaturalMotion we suggest you check them out at www.naturalmotion.com.

Dungeon Hero Game Summary / E3 Trailer
Dungeon Hero takes you into a real dungeon, one where a shadowy evil has come to feed on despair. This is a dungeon at war – not a place with bags of gold just lying around!

The action RPG uses Firefly’s dazzling HD engine, allowing the player to storm heroically through underground halls while taking in the detail and complexity of a world previously unseen.

Master melee, ranged and magic skills and ‘Close combat’ a totally new, brutal mode of fighting as you battle your way through vast crowds of monsters. Fight alone or have a friend drop in to survive – and maybe even save – the darkest society imaginable!
