London, UK- 19th August 2002 – Sensaura Limited and Intrinsic Graphics, Inc. are working together to ensure that the GameCODA API and toolkit and Intrinsic Alchemy game development platform are fully compatible. As specialists within their respective fields, Sensaura and Intrinsic Graphics recognise the needs and requirements of game developers and strive to meet them.

Sensaura and Intrinsic Graphics have developed advanced software that enables game developers to integrate audio and graphics into their titles with maximum ease and great effectiveness. By taking the pressures of technology development away from the game studio, more resources can be focused on gameplay, making games more innovative, captivating and attractive.

"We are delighted to be working with Intrinsic, when talking with developers they expressed the importance of integration with the leading graphics solutions and we know we have to deliver solutions for their needs." Said Doug Balfour, Managing Director at Sensaura.

"The feedback we have received from developers about compatibility with Intrinsic Alchemy and Sensaura GameCODA is very positive. Partnering with each other provides the best solutions for developers with Sensaura and Intrinsic Graphics being specialists developing the technology they know best and testing the compatibility ensuring it all plugs in seamlessly," said T. Paul Thomas, CEO at Intrinsic Graphics.

Sensaura and Intrinsic Graphics will be demonstrating their technologies at this year’s European Computer Trade Show (ECTS), which is to be held at Earls Court, London between 29th – 31st August.
