Rad Game Tools 1.6 SDK for Windows and Linux

"Here at RAD, we make video game development tools. In fact, at least one of our products is built into almost every video game made today. To date, we've appeared in more than 12,100 games!

Game developers like our products for a couple reasons. First off, they are designed specifically for them - we aren't just repurposing technology designed for some other market. Secondly, our developers are the ones doing the actual technical support and documentation. When you need help, you talk to the right people. Finally, our licensing is the easiest in the industry - simple agreements and flat fees..."

Rad Game Tools includes :

Bink Video - The Video Codec for Games

Bink is the defacto video codec for games. It has been licensed for over 4,000 games on 14 different platforms!

Most game developers are shocked to find that they can get Bink videos playing in less than an hour - including tricky stuff like pixel shaders. Bink feels like a codec that you wrote custom for your game - it works like you do.
