Republic: The Revolution

Development

Republic: The Revolution was to be released in 1998, but due to several delays and publisher changes, it took five years before the final product came out.

References

One of the artists became a cult figure on the team, so his face was used in some of the textures. Check out some of the gravestones and find the Gay Hussar pub sign. He's the guy wearing a Russian Bearskin hat.

Soundtrack

The game shipped before all the music had been arranged, so there was an extra 30 minutes of soundtrack still to be added. The complete soundtrack was released as an audio CD some time later.

Technology

The 3D engine used in this game is called the Totality Engine, developed by Elixir Studios. It is capable of rendering very complex worlds with limited resources. More about the engine can be read in the related links section.
