Sony Ericsson and Havok have announced the availability of Havok’s product suite to Android developers, optimized for the Sony Ericsson’s revolutionary Xperia™ PLAY. Havok reigns as the preferred tools and interactive software partner to the world’s best developers. As part of its overall support for the Android platform, Havok has a build of its product line optimised for the Xperia™ PLAY that is ready for licensing by Android developers.
Check out a demo video after the jump!
Havok’s modular suite of art tools includes:
Havok™ AI, a cross platform SDK to perform navigation mesh generation, pathfinding and path following in highly dynamic game environments.
Havok™ Animation, an animation SDK and tool chain that provide optimised playback and real-time blending on current and next-generation game systems.
Havok™ Behavior, an intuitive composition tool for artists and designers, and a run-time SDK for game programmers.
Havok™ Cloth, a runtime and toolset that allows character designers to go beyond simplistic tight-fitting or hand-animated clothing, and to add believable, physically-based motion to garments.
Havok™ Destruction, gives the game artist total control over the simulation of rigid body destruction, drastically reducing the production time and cost of creating large numbers of believable destructible game objects.
Havok™ Physics, provides real-time collision detection and physical simulation solutions.
Havok Script™ , a Lua-compatible Virtual Machine designed for console game development that ships with Havok Script Studio, an integrated environment for Microsoft Visual Studio and on-target profiler.
Havok’s partnership with Sony Ericsson puts the full power of Havok’s product line into the hands of Xperia™ PLAY developers. Havok technology already appears in nearly 270 games on the market, including many high profile, Triple-A titles. Now developers will be able to create rich, cinematic, 3D immersive mobile games for Android. Havok has now fully ported all seven of its products to Gingerbread (version 2.3), the latest version of Google’s Android platform, and partnered closely with Sony Ericsson to deliver a specifically optimized runtime ahead of launch.

the xperia Play is looking great, but i want to ask, why have the devs given up on the first xperia (x10,e10,u20) series, ant+ is good and all, but halting android updates at 2.1 feels like killing that series, what Karl-Johan Dahlström said was true that android is not enough, but in the way that keeping up with android updates is not enough, customization and optimization is needed, saying that 2.1 se is just as good as vanilla 2.2 is just insane, the changes in virtual machine, wi fi tethering, and apps2sd are missing from 2.1 and those are HUGE winning point for 2.2 in performance

Daniel, SE Developer World understands your concerns. The topic of Android updates has to be maintained on the product blog, not the developer blog. Thanks.
