Press Release - June 01, 2010:
News:
Indie game “Eufloria” is to see a Sony PlayStation
Network release early 2011. This marks a new phase in a remarkable
journey for what was originally a small cult indie game.
About the game:
Eufloria first saw life as “Dyson” a freeware entry
into the TIGSource Procedural Game Competition, after which an
expanded version became an IGF 2009 finalist, competing among other
things for the festival’s grand prize. Since then the game
has undergone extensive development which led to a new incarnation
as “Eufloria”, which saw a successful commercial
release on various pc platforms, including Valve’s Steam
network.
About the PSN Release
Rather more than a straight port, the PSN incarnation of
Eufloria will see a number of improvements over the current
version.
To quote Rudolf Kremers (Design):
“During original development we had many really nice ideas
that could not be implemented due to scope considerations. Core
development was down to only 2 people after all. This PSN release
gives us a marvellous opportunity to put several of them into the
game after all, which is very exciting to us.”

Improvements and additions to the game will cover a wide
spectrum. They cover visuals, play mechanics and new content.
Additionally, Brian Grainger (Milieu) will continue his excellent
musical contribution to the game and provide new unique tracks for
the Eufloria soundtrack. Considering the various improvements it
may be more accurate to describe the PSN release as “Eufloria
++”.
The game is being produced and self-published by Rudolf
Kremers’ independent game company Omni Systems Limited.
About the development team:
Eufloria PSN is being developed by the game’s original
developers:
Rudolf Kremers (design), Alex May (code), and Brian Grainger
(music).
