SOPHIA-ANTIPOLIS, France – March 29, 2010 – Stonetrip, a leading 3D engine company for games and 3D applications, today announced that it has added iPad development capabilities and support to ShiVa 3D, the company’s development kit for creating high-quality titles on leading platforms. ShiVa 3D is the fastest growing engine technology available, offering the ability to create games and applications for PC, Mac, Web, Linux, iPhone, Android and iPad under a single license.
“On March 18th we added Android development capabilities to ShiVa 3D and today we’re expanding the development capabilities again for our users by adding iPad development capabilities and support,” said Philip Belhassen, CEO of Stonetrip. “The market is very competitive and having powerful tools early gives developers the opportunity to compete and have a first mover advantage on emerging platforms. We will continue to add additional platforms under our single license per developer strategy.”
While some companies charge a separate licensing fee for each platform in which you are developing for, Stonetrip’s business model is to offer cross-platform capability under a single license per development seat, regardless of the target platform.
