BioWare Licenses Simutronics HeroEngine for MMO Game Project |
Ó
Simutronics, creator of the HeroEngine, announced recently its very first licensee for the HeroEngine - BioWare Austin. Well, as they say, you have to start somewhere, and this is a good start. In case you think HeroEngine is a car, well, let us fill you in. HeroEngine is a complete integrated platform for development of MMORPGs. BioWare Austin will be using this for the development of their new MMO venture. BioWare, in case you didn't know, has developed a lot of games including Jade Empire, Neverwinter Nights, and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.
When asked why they chose to take their chances on Simutronics and its creation, BioWare Co-Studio Director Gordon Walton said "at BioWare we selected HeroEngine because it had the most sophisticated and complete development tools available for building an amazing online experience...Our team wanted a great rapid prototyping environment and to work with experienced MMO developers. The HeroEngine from Simutronics is a perfect fit for BioWare Austin's requirements." Well, Simutronics' five years of slaving over this platform certainly paid off now that the big time is knocking on their door. Let's wait and see how this development turns out.

Yay Simutronics, but isn't it a bit early to pick that engine? They haven't even released their own first game on it. (I'm very much looking forward to it. I've played DragonRealms for years. That's the text-based online game that Hero's Journey is partly based on.)
