DTO Software
About
DTO Software began releasing shareware for the Amiga in 1992. The first release was Starbase 13, a graphic adventure game. Starbase 13 reached #1 in the Public Domain chart of Amiga Format after a favourable review in that magazine.
The follow-up to Starbase 13 was The Lost Prince, with an improved game engine and a change in setting. From these games a generic graphic adventure system was developed, to be released independently. This system was GRAC, the GRaphic Adventure Creator, DTO Software's most significant release to date. GRAC was a hugely successful licenceware product, with very positive reviews in Amiga Format and CU Amiga magazines, among others, along with another #1 position in the Amiga Format PD chart.
Along with GRAC came further games. Lethal Formula was a short demonstration game which was Public Domain. Epsilon 9 was the licenceware sequel to Starbase 13.
After GRAC, things became 3D. A demo of the (never finished) Cold Blood, a DOOM style game, got a contract with Vulcan Software for commercial release of the full game. But by then the Amiga games market was on a downhill slide, and a lack of time to design levels meant that Cold Blood became the 3D Game Creator, with an ever further-out release date. Then Vulcan Software stopped producing Amiga products altogether, and DTO Software was also shifting to the PC.
The newest DTO Software release is a demo of a 3D graphics engine for the PC, with 3D accelerator support via DirectX.
