Intrinsic Graphics Inc. has released Intrinsic Alchemy for Linux, a development and runtime environment that can be used to develop games for embedded Linux based devices.

“We're very excited to support Linux. This is an important direction in game development, and we expect to be seeing more game-capable embedded Linux systems in the coming years,” commented Intrinsic Graphics VP of engineering Brian McClendon. “Releasing this version to today's users gives them a head start on the research we are doing in this area.”

Intrinsic Graphics describes Intrinsic Alchemy as . . .

“a high-performance software platform for delivering real-time 3D applications on next generation game consoles, personal computers, advanced TV set-top boxes, and future generation handheld devices. . . . Intrinsic Alchemy acts as the foundation for the developer's tool chain, standardizing the development process for multiple hardware systems and improving time-to-market. With an innovative architecture, advanced real-time rendering techniques, support for leading third-party tools and modules, and easy integration with the developer's own tools and code, Intrinsic Alchemy frees developers to focus on creating great games.”
