Instinct Technology has announced the appointment of Mike Gamble, a former Microsoft and THQ executive, to the role of business development director. Gamble will be responsible for overseeing the company's flagship product, the Instinct Studio game development suite, as it makes the transition from Beta status to full commercial release. He will also focus on building relationships with technology firms, developers and publishers.
Instinct Studio offers a range of features and techniques, including real-time, per-pixel lighting, normal mapping, specular highlighting and volumetric stencil-buffer shadowing. IT describes it as a "one stop shop" which includes a variety of WYSIWYG tools, such as resource management, hot loading and real-time previewing. The suite has been designed to integrate with existing middleware solutions for specialist functionality, such as physics, AI and multiplayer networking. It will go on show at the Develop Conference in Brighton between July 11th - July 13th.
