This demo was submitted to ten publishers, seven of whom returned to the company with an offer. A publishing deal for Shattered Steel was eventually signed with <a href="/wiki/Interplay_Entertainment" title="Interplay Entertainment">Interplay Entertainment</a>. Brent Oster and Trent Oster formed Pyrotek Studios, which continued developing Shattered Steel but broke up a year later, with Trent joining BioWare as an early employee to finish the game.<a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a> BioWare's first game was released the following year. Shattered Steel's release was described by <a href="/wiki/IGN" title="IGN">IGN</a> as a "modest success" with "decent sales". Two noteworthy points were the deformable terrain (player weapon damage caused craters in the environment) and zone damage (well-aimed gunfire could shoot mounted weapons off enemies). A sequel to Shattered Steel was planned for 1998 but never realized.<a href="#cite_note-IGN_History-5">[5]</a> BioWare's founders and staff were keenly interested in both <a href="/wiki/Role-playing_video_game" title="Role-playing video game">computerized</a> and <a href="/wiki/Tabletop_role-playing_game" title="Tabletop role-playing game">pen-and-paper</a> variants of <a href="/wiki/Role-playing_game" title="Role-playing game">role-playing games</a>. Their next development project, therefore, was determined to be a role-playing game. When Interplay financed "exploratory development", BioWare presented the publishers with a demo called Battleground: Infinity. Interplay suggested that the demonstrated gameplay engine would be well-suited to the <a href="/wiki/Dungeons_%26_Dragons" title="Dungeons & Dragons">Dungeons & Dragons</a> licence which it had acquired from <a href="/wiki/Strategic_Simulations" title="Strategic Simulations">Strategic Simulations</a>. Accordingly, Infinity was reworked in line with the Dungeons & Dragons ruleset.<a href="#cite_note-IGN_History-5">[5]</a> The result was <a href="/wiki/Baldur%27s_Gate_(video_game)" title="Baldur's Gate (video game)">Baldur's Gate</a>, with a development cycle of three years. During this time, the three doctors continued to practice medicine. The demands of development later prompted Muzyka and Zeschuck to leave medicine and move into full-time development. Augustine Yip decided to continue with his medical practice. Baldur's Gate sold more than two million copies after its release, nearly matching the sales of <a href="/wiki/Diablo_(video_game)" title="Diablo (video game)">Diablo</a>. Following the success of Baldur's Gate, the Infinity Engine was used for the games <a href="/wiki/Planescape:_Torment" title="Planescape: Torment">Planescape: Torment</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Icewind_Dale_(series)" title="Icewind Dale (series)">Icewind Dale series</a>.
