Extensive customer feedback from Anark's Developer Release program has
been integrated into the new release, resulting in significantly expanded
features including the ability to author data driven menus and in-game user
interfaces, in addition to the traditional game front end. Anark Gameface can
now easily handle the typically labor intensive requirements of sports,
strategy, and role playing game user interfaces
The Anark Gameface bundle is composed of two products, Anark Studio(TM)
and Anark Format SDK(TM). The Anark Format SDK allows programmers to build
the UI pipeline once and then hand over UI creation to artists. Artists then
use Anark Studio, a professional authoring tool to rapidly prototype and
polish the final UI.
"We have been quite impressed with Anark Studio.
It gave us the advantage we needed to get content into the front-end of our
games as fast as possible"
Douglas Tronsgard
CEO, Next Level Games
