Editing Sin (video game) (section)

==Development==
Development started in 1997, on the [[Quake engine]].<ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://archive.org/details/NEXT_Generation_32/page/n96 |title=NG Alphas: SiN |magazine=Next Generation |publisher=Imagine Media |issue=32 |date=August 1997 |page=95}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|first=Helen|last=Lee|url=http://headline.gamespot.com/news/97_05/23_sin/index.html|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/19990219111519/http://headline.gamespot.com/news/97_05/23_sin/index.html|title=Hipnotic Promises Plenty of SiN|website=[[GameSpot]]|archivedate=February 19, 1999|date=May 23, 1997|accessdate=July 24, 2022}}</ref> When the [[Quake II engine]] engine was completed some months later, the developers switched to that engine.

A [[skeletal animation]] system was used for the characters.<ref name=NGen37/>

The game demo was found to have a [[CIH (computer virus)|CIH virus]] infection in one of its mirror links. Activision had advised players only to download the game demo from their website.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.zdnet.com/article/us-report-gamers-believe-activisions-sin-carries-cih-virus/ |title=US Report: Gamers believe Activision's 'SiN' carries CIH virus |last=Lemos |first=Rob |date=July 28, 1998 |website=[[ZDNet]] |publisher=[[Red Ventures]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090417075559/http://news.zdnet.co.uk/security/0%2C1000000189%2C2068990%2C00.htm |archive-date=April 17, 2009 |url-status=live |access-date=April 17, 2021}}</ref> Due to the amount of patches which made the game more CPU-intensive, primary [[Amiga]] developer and later [[AmigaOS]] developer Hyperion Entertainment had to eventually cancel the AmigaOS version due to the lack of hardware at the time.

Voice actress Hannah Logan, who voiced Elexis, thought she did it well as she could do "a really low" voice and "do sexy vixens pretty well and it comes pretty easily."<ref>{{cite web |date=1999-04-24 |title=Stomped Interviews: Hannah Logan- Voice of Elexis Sinclaire from 'SiN' |url=http://www.stomped.com/interviews/elexis.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19990424171636/http://www.stomped.com/interviews/elexis.html |archive-date=1999-04-24 |access-date=2013-10-04 |website=Stomped}}</ref> Logan commented on Elexis and Blade: "Love and hate are different sides of the same coin; I think they are in 'love' with hating each other.  Passion, pain, pleasure, winning, it's all the same in their cat and mouse game. ... I think Elexis is very much in touch with her 'feminine' side, but uses it in a masculine way, as a weapon. A [[bimbo]] is, ultimately, a victim. Elexis knows exactly what she is doing - she uses her sensuality to win, not that it always works, but it is definitely a ''major'' piece of ammo in her arsenal."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ritualistic.com/content.php/interviews/060503_sineps_01.php |title=SiN Episodes Voice Cast Interview |publisher=Ritualistic.com |date=2006-05-03 |access-date=2013-10-04 |archive-date=2013-05-28 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130528111500/http://www.ritualistic.com/content.php/interviews/060503_sineps_01.php |url-status=live }}</ref>
