May 6^th, 2004 (12:00am) - To achieve a new realistic gaming experience, Reality Pump has equipped the new Earth-4 engine not only with a physics algorithm, but also with a BioChem engine.

This innovation allows the visualization of liquids, gases and light in a quality as yet unseen in a PC game. For each planet or area there are numerous liquid pools, which could range from seawater of any hue to lakes of shimmering mercury or boiling gold. BioChem can make everything on surface and reflected lighting possible with a plethora of parameters: reflected colour, density, flood direction and speed, wind direction and speed, surface foam, surface reflection intensity, coloured liquid lighting, specular lighting and reflection transparency and angles to name but a few.

The only limit is the player’s fantasy!
