Tomsk, Russia – February 4, 2010 – Unigine Corp. announces the licensing of its top-notch Unigine engine to Lukewarm Media, an independent game developer. The first Unigine-based project by Lukewarm Media (“Primal Carnage” first-person shooter) is currently close to the end of pre-production stage.
“Lukewarm Media is a rare combination of daring talent, passion and experience in game development industry. Being built in less than 2 months, the Unigine-based demo of Primal Carnage has really
impressed me. When powered by such a productive team, the game has very good chances to gain significant success. Along with providing our middleware solutions to large established companies, our company has also granted support for a lot of independent companies. Independent development
is quite a rocky road, so we will do our best to help out from the technical side, thus helping this
willing and audacious team to release their feature-rich game”.
- Denis Shergin, CEO of Unigine Corp.
“Working with the Unigine engine has been an inspirational yet fantastic experience. Lukewarm Media feels privileged to work with a support team as dedicated and motivated as the Unigine team. With Unigine's top-end visual rendering system and support they offer their clients, it’s no question that Unigine will be a top choice for many developers in the coming years. The Unigine engine, with its quick-to-learn toolset, has helped Lukewarm Media bring its ideas to reality. There are a number of other exciting aspects to using the Unigine engine including (but not limited to) its support for DirectX 11, and being able to include the Unigine toolset and SDK for development of custom content and mods. This is a mutually beneficial partnership as it should allow both the Unigine and Primal Carnage communities to flourish. Overall, Unigine is an engine that without doubt has the amount of power needed to get a dinosaur moving!”
- Ashton Andersen, Producer – Lukewarm Media

Good luck with your project, keep it up!
Top notch.
Looks fantastic, goodluck!
awesome!
Kickass, I want Unigine too :). Watching.
I CANT believe that we'll NEED to play as a Dino in THIRD ******* PERSON, everything else looks absolutely marvelous.
I blame tiny arms.
Right on.
You, sir, win the most ROFL-filled comment of the week! Congratulations, rawr
and you sir win the"awarding a person the most ROFL-filled comment of the week"award
cograts....XD
I wish i could get the Unigine but it's expensive. Incredible work and incredible engine.
For this alone, you've earned my "tracking", well done!
Go indie game developers! Looks fantastic can't wait to see how it turns out. It reminds me of the Carnivores and those good ol' days where the eyes were the targets for the T-Rex. I hope there are some unique gameplay elements, I saw that it was to be described as an arcade shooter but I hope it doesn't have that UT3 gun fighting style and maybe something a bit more elaborate, iron sights are always a plus. :)
Great news with full mod support and a great looking engine. It looks like you guys are really moving along and I can't wait for upcoming betas :)
<3 that game!
Very impressive depth-of-field effects.
finally. xD it's about time Unigine showed us indie devs a little bit of love. This along with linux support is...pure awesome.
impressive
I just checked out the benchmarks and WOW this engines amazing but did you guys pay for it ?, it's about $25,000.
my computer won't handle yhis for sure
Looks awesome.
Rock on!
how much will it cost?
It's hard to say at the moment, but I would say no more then $20 usd. But it's to early to tell. Right now we are none-funded team and do this on spare time so we can sell it as cheap as we like. However if a publisher picks us up then that can change depending on their pricing.
Please stay indie guys. I'll buy 20 copies.
OMG OMG OMG AWESOME!!!!!
Wow, that's amazing.
fighting dinosaurs is going to rule , great job
You should contact value and get it on steam if you're looking for a publisher to make money from it.Good luck!
Looks amazing, but I really hope the DoF effect is just being used for exaggeration right now. It's rather excessive in those shots, and would give me a headache.
I wear glasses for a reason!
(Yeah yeah, the reason is because I spend too much time behind a computer screen, but also so I can see things sharp!)
To be honest, we will have DOF but not as crazy as that. It's mostly used for "effect" to show off the Post effects in unigine as well as focus on our characters. It's just a screen shot technique, mass effect 2 did a bit of it. Speaking of glasses... Primal carnage in 3D? anyone? =)
Alright, sounds good. :D And yeah, whoops. I meant DoF in moderation is okay! And... Do you mean Nvidia's 3D, or other methods as well?
Beautiful images; graphic speaking, that game and engine just impressed me a lot, keep it up the good work.
I in a process to re-acquire and never give up of ATi again, so 3D will work in ATi's? If not not interested ;)
AshtonAndersen is there a release date?
Gr8 job guys....go kick some serious ***...even if this game's priced 49USD, I'm sure it's gonna be worth more than the 59USD games, and better too
n 'm gonna buy it
Those Dinos may be the best model/texture combo in any cryengine as of right now but we still have zero concept video that shows any Dino game play.
It's using "unigine engine"
looks good (: good luck with the game
that's sounds and looks really nice
but aren't tyrannosaurs scavengers?
Awesome, though I hope the framerate is good on mid range systems.
sexy:D
pimpin
Why is this so beautiful?!
looks like cry-engine
"Currently both the engine and the toolset are available for Windows and Linux platforms."
Yeah baby!!!!
Daym, Thanks alot, now i need to change my underwear. =/
it's absolutly great!
The rate of progress I've seen on this game is phenomenal to say the least.
This seems to be worth checking it out ;)
..really worth it!!
Looking good!
