I had a demo of the C64 version of this, it was on a covertape(a cassette that is taped to the front of a magazine, usually containing freeware and/or demos, usually one or two on each side of the tape) I got off the front of Commodore Format. On a 6502, the framerate was woeful, but it worked.
I vaguely remember downloading this and trying it back in the day, but it was just a bit too fiddly and complicated for 12-year-old me. But yeah, in hindsight this was a pretty powerful package for the time.
Incentive Software were a UK based developer who made a 3D game engine called 'Freescape' and several games were made using it including Driller. Domark were a games publisher that eventually became Eidos Interactive.
The Farscape engine, I had a demo of Total Eclipse for my Amstrad, and it was unbelievably slow to play, like one frame every 2-3 seconds!

Criminally overlooked software from the early 90s. Well done for keeping it's memory alive!

were they based in Reading?
@@catonthekbd Yes
@@sycove1 I might have seen the original demo of this at Reading Uni Computer Club :)
Aaron great video, you've made it 100x harder by not using a mouse! I used this exact software at university.
And now you're using a mouse.. thank god!
Unity pre-Alpha
That looks just like a piece of software I had back in the day called Virtual Reality Studio. Very cool!
It is the Virtual Reality Studio. It's the north american name.
Great video !!!!!!
Amstrad mouse or Amstrad Joystick?
I'm guessing that is for the PCW range?
That is crazy cool! I probably could have spent hours on it back in 92!
Nice job!
Too bad that this program hasn't the possibility to create games as Alone in the Dark.
