Digital Signs Deal With AGEIA's Physics For 'Bet on Soldier'

Digital Jesters announced today at the E3 its exclusive support of AGEIA Technologies' revolutionary PhysX processor and NovodeX physics software for all future games. The first Digital Jesters published game to utilize these technologies will be Bet on Soldier, an FPS available for the PC that launches this summer in the US and worldwide.

The AGEIA PhysX processor is a revolutionary new category of processor that will help redefine how physics in video games are perceived, featuring the Physics Processing Unit the next milestone in the evolution of game acceleration hardware. AGEIA's NovodeX physics software is also uniquely equipped for this revolution in hardware-accelerated physics, and is the only multi-threaded physics API that can unleash the power of multiprocessor systems.

"We have always been keen to work with the most advanced technology available for our games, and these tools from AGEIA allow our developers to be on the cutting edge in their fields," said Leo Zullo, Digital Jesters co-founder and marketing director.

As a new alternative to global publishing for developers, Digital Jesters has released a string of high profile titles in its 18 months of existence and continues to push the envelope on original games in an age of sequels and licenses. Bet on Soldier is one such example with its innovative betting system in a first-person shooter combined with revolutionary physics technology.

"Digital Jesters has demonstrated a commitment to publishing truly innovative games, and we're thrilled to support that trend by licensing our unique physics tools to them for game development of the highest caliber," said Andy Keane, vice president of marketing for AGEIA.
