Triumph Studios - Overlord

[savage]

From their meek beginnings with the Age of Wonders series, which was written in Delphi, Triumph Studios have now released their latest offering called Overlord ( http://www.gametrailers.com/gamepage.php?id=4588 ) which is coming out for PC and XBox 360.

It goes to show that you can definitely be competitive in the games industry, even if you do start the company with a Delphi created game.

Overlord looks like an interesting angle on a game, where you play someone evil who goes around terrorising everyone else with your minions.

How would you write it in Delphi if you need to support X-Box 360?

[WILL]

I think he means that the company's first games were made with Delphi. And now they are developing for XBox 360, but not necessarily using Object Pascal to do it.

Though if you wanted to make a game for the XBox 360, I think if/when Delphi for .NET properly supports 2.0 and up, you'll be able to take advantage of XNA to get your games on an XBox as well.

You can create XBox 360 games today using Object Pascal via Chrome so there is not need to wait for Delphi.NET 2.0 support.
