Popular literature publishing house and NewMedia Stars corporation just launched Sergei Tarmashev’s “Ancient” trilogy website. Alternativa helped them to put readers into the world of “Ancient”. The website is in Russian, but you can still get into oligarchs’ bunker using help pic below.

This is yet another couple of demonstrations of Alternativa3D engine in action. First one shows an example of using it in a browser-based realtime strategy/RPG game. It uses fast orthographic mode for camera for better performance. Trees and characters are represented with sprites. Characters are controlled as in any strategy game, separately or in group.

We’re getting a lot of questions concerning Alternativa3D licencing, so here are some answers about pricing and conditions.

Basic, standart licence costs 1000 Euro and is made for using current Alternativa3D release in one commercial project, not depending on Flash modules quantity.

Such projects are company websites, promo-sites and presentations using the engine in:

• navigation and decoration elements;
• display goods, services and processes;
• schemes and diagrams;
• tutorials;
• animation elements;
• architectural visualization;
• single-user games;
• 3D-banners, game banners.

We provide support for basic licencees at forum.alternativaplatform.com in a high priority order.

Individual licences
For multiuser (MMO) projects and online services there is an individual licence, which pricing and conditions depend on how deep do we have to go into the project (by consulting, adding specific features, providing extended support, etc.)

These are:

• online shops and services;
• multiuser games and media;
• visual chatrooms;
• geoinformation systems;
• 3D-editors and construction apps;
• complex calculation results and processes visualizations.

Big project means big risks, and demands technology confidence. In order to meet that requirements, we offer:

• early project stages consulting;
• teaching developer teams (remote, locally, at client’s office);
• changing engine in order to meet specific project requirements;
• individual support program;

Free non-commercial licence is available for non-commercial projects, such as:

• technology demonstrations, experiments, Alternativa3D tutorials;
• educational materials for schools and universities;
• projects that get money from donations or by using context ad networks.

Developers who use Alternativa3D for their clients can use it for their own websites for free too.
