Simutronics today announced that Idea Fabrik is licensing HeroEngine for its upcoming flagship virtual world game, Echoverse. The engine has been licensed for a variety of projects including BioWare’s Star Wars: The Old Republic. The game will combine real life and digital life as players create their own echo in the universe, enabling a revolutionary array of commerce and entertainment opportunities.
“With development studios in Austin and Kiev, we needed an engine that would work seamlessly across the globe,” said John Jenkins, CEO/ CFO of Idea Fabrik.” HeroEngine provides our team with necessary tools to work together in real-time, drastically reducing our development time.”
HeroEngine alters the traditional development process by allowing development teams around the globe to collaborate in real-time. It is the world’s only 3D online agile development platform that supports real-time development and collaboration, reducing time and cost to market for virtual worlds and MMO (massively-multiplayer online) games. Licensees include BioWare (Star Wars: The Old Republic), ZeniMax Online, and many more around the world who demand a better process for developing and maintaining online worlds.
