Touchdown Entertainment and Radical Technology Establish Partnership to Deliver Cross-Platform Technology to Game Developers

Touchdown Entertainment and Radical Technology today announced a game technology development and distribution alliance that will deliver Copperhead(TM) Technology to developers of games for PlayStation(R) 2, Xbox(TM), GameCube(TM) and PC.

Copperhead is a complete game development kit that combines integrated technologies including multi-platform rendering, physics, audio and animation with an intuitive suite of custom Maya(R) content tools. Copperhead also features a modular architecture that allows developers to easily modify the technology to accommodate a wide variety of design concepts.

"Given the continued growth in the console market, we are very enthusiastic about teaming with Radical to deliver Copperhead to game developers," said Jeffery Hutt, President and CEO of Touchdown Entertainment. "Along with Jupiter and our other LithTech products, Copperhead gives us a collection of powerful, cross-platform technologies that appeal to a broad market."

Although Copperhead is available for licensing for the first time, the underlying technology has powered numerous games developed by Radical Entertainment. "Copperhead has evolved through the real-life demands of several generations of production game teams," said Rod Davison, President of Radical Technology. "We have created versatile, high performance modules that give developers the freedom to produce outstanding games regardless of the target platform or genre."
