| Overview |
| Caribbean islands; islands full of secrets, mystery and the spirit of romance. These islands are both beautiful and lethally dangerous. Centuries ago the waters of this region were teeming with pirates and adventurers... and frankly, not much has changed since then. Many books have been written about the Caribbean basin and many films have depicted it. Now you have a unique chance to visit these places yourself and personally witness the everyday life of drug-dealers, bandits and the Mafioso. You'll be able to take part in various mysterious events and get involved in fights between various hostile forces, or just admire the luscious tropical environment while drinking the traditional pirate's liquor - rum. The Caribs are waiting for you! White Gold: War in Paradise is the new project from game developers Deep Shadows. White Gold is the spiritual sequel to 2005's popular game Boiling Point: Road to Hell. The main hero arrives on the islands in order to investigate a series of mysterious events, but he instantly ends up in troubles that only you can help him with. White Gold: War in Paradise is not a direct continuation of the Boiling Point: Road to Hell storyline, but a successor in atmosphere and gameplay mechanics. A superb mix of RPG elements and FPS combat, vast open areas, hostile groups and factions, diverse vehicles and weapons, and a story full of sudden turns and surprises awaits you. The project is being developed on Vital Engine 3, the new in-house engine created by Deep Shadows, which includes all modern technical features, such as Shader Model 3.0 and various post processing effects including HDR (High Dynamic Range), motion blur and a host of others. In comparison to Vital Engine 2, the physics system for vehicles has also been greatly improved. Moreover, some of the new engine's strengths are destructible objects, which will be taken advantage of everywhere in the game, and the support for a huge, unified playing area. The character development system has also been heavily altered to become more interesting and flexible. One of our major innovations is a system of perks that affects the game experience a lot and greatly extends the variety in which it is possible to improve your character. White Gold: War in Paradise is being developed for PX and Xbox 360. The predicted release date is end of 2007 - beginning of 208. The publisher for the CIS territory is Russobit - M. |

The park of vehicles in White Gold is completely altered in comparison with Boiling Point. Their visual characteristics will be better and physical model will be greatly improved as well.

Any "copy paste" of locations and quests are forbidden in creation of the White Gold. 11. How AI system works in the White Gold? There is combat and non-combat AI in the game. Combat AI based on two main algorithms – virtual hearing and virtual vision. That gives an opportunity for player to use great set of tricks based on AI behavior models. Some enemies can hear better then common humans and they will respond not only on shot sound but also on footsteps and other low-level noise. It is possible to pull bots using their virtual senses with sounds or some visual attraction and get the guarded point, but be ready that they can trick you as well. AI Bots can react on other NPCes as well as on you hero so it is possible to use it for various tactical tricks. Vision radius is different for every type of units and some of them can have special abilities like improved night vision and so on. In combat, bots can call for help and hide for the weapon reload, run away out of combat and perform other peculiar to the real human actions. In contrast to the Boiling Point, we are going to implement improved stealth-mode in White Gold.

Non-Combat AI is charged with wide relation scale of the NPCs concerning your actions and bots life simulation. 12.
