Neogence Studios announced today
that it has selected the Monumental Games Technology Suite ("MGTS") for
use in Immortal Destiny, the world's first evolutionary massively
multiplayer online role-playing game
Neogence has selected MONUMENTAL GAMES TECHNOLOGY SUITE as the engine for there "evolutionary" MMORPG. With this engine they will be able to create large highly detailed worlds with stunning graphics etc etc well I am happy for them but this means nothing to the average Joe out there. Sadly, this is true ... the graphics would be stunning if they used a different engine so really what is the point of this press release? Ah, but that is what the Average Joe does not know ... that is the developement cycle will be cut by two full years. This way we can get our hands on this new mmorpg much faster which is bound to make the Average Joe happy but they never happen to think about that, now do they. Anyway onto the press release.
Press Release - "The Monumental Game
Technology Suite is one of the best MMORPG engines available on the
market, featuring cutting edge graphics, robust tools, and solid
server-side technology." said Robert Rice, CEO of Neogence Studios and
Author of MMO Evolution. "The team at Monumental really understands
that MMO developers need powerful and flexible tools to create
innovative next-generation games. MGTS will shave at least two years
off of the development schedule for our first title."
"Given the
need for top class middleware in the rapidly growing MMO market, our
tools and technology provide the perfect foundation for those
developers and publishers who want to bring their MMO game to market
cheaper, faster and with less risk." said Rik Alexander, CEO of
Monumental Games (www.monumentalgames.com).
"By providing a flexible, modular, and scalable solution based on
proven technology, we allow developers to focus on creating unique and
original games instead of reinventing the technology wheel. This saves
time and reduces the cost of developing new titles."
The
Monumental Games Technology Suite provides developers with an
established content creation pipeline and advanced tools that enable
them to focus on the creation of gameplay almost immediately. This will
significantly reduce their time to market and also avoids many of the
expensive technology risks inherent in creating MMO games.
"We
are very excited to be working with Monumental. The technology suite is
perfect for Immortal Destiny and allows us to create stunning
environments, spectacular effects, and ground-breaking gameplay that
will set a new standard in MMORPG design." commented Robert. "We looked
at and evaluated other middleware solutions, but these were all either
limited to front-end client graphic engines or simply did not have core
features and functionality that we require for the unique content and
gameplay we are creating.
"Neogence seems to be one of the few
developers in the industry aggressively focused on creating well
designed and original content." said Rik. "With so many generic new
titles being announced featuring similar content and gameplay, we have
high expectations for Immortal Destiny and we are pleased that
Neogence has selected the Monumental Game Technology Suite to realize
their vision for evolutionary games."
