"3D Pipeline's experience creating strategic and war-gaming simulations for the military is a perfect fit with The Vision Quest's melding of science fiction and science fact with action-adventure story elements," said Pratt. "Their rich 3D environments, realistic characters and weapons set the standard in action/role-playing games," said Pratt.

"The prospect of building an entire world like The Vision Quest's is exciting," said Hilbert.  "This project gives us the opportunity to not only develop brand new characters, but also to merge our 3D architectural modeling skills with Deborahm's fantastic cities of the future."
