COLOGNE – August 16, 2012 – Leaders of the game development industry are
joining their efforts to create unique technologies and innovative
solutions. Idea Fabrik PLC (Boerse Berlin GB00B61CVK31, TI4.BE), the
company behind HeroEngine and HeroCloud, the well-known technologies for
developing multi-player 3D games, and iLogos, Europe’s leading company for
game development and game graphics services, have announced the
establishment of a strategic partnership that will create a critical time-
and effort-saving resource for game developers. The partnership will
produce high-quality 3D objects and 3D graphics across a variety of game
genres and will allow for seamless transition of these ready-made assets
into the engine, effectively reducing the time, cost and effort for making
an online game.
HeroEngine is the technology used by triple-A games studios for creating
virtual worlds, 3D-MMOGs and 3D social games. More than 7’000 game projects
are already using the technology, including BioWare, the creators of ‘Star
Wars: The Old Republic’, one of the most popular 3D-MMORPG ever created.
HeroCloud is an all-in-one technology platform for smaller independent
studios making online games. The HeroCloud service provides full access to
the HeroEngine as well as all necessary tools and systems to operate and
monetize any online game, including all bandwidth and hosting for any game
made in the HeroEngine.
Commenting on the agreement, Alexander Goldybin, Co-Founder and CEO of
iLogos Europe, said, ‘We appreciate the professional competence and
achievements of our partner, Idea Fabrik, and are willing to invest our
maximum effort and enthusiasm to meet the needs of developers of online
games based on 3D technologies of Idea Fabrik. Together, we are ready to
bring amazing new features to users of HeroEngine and HeroCloud, as well as
end users of future online 3D games!’
‘Given the success of products based on our technology and the impressive
experience of our colleagues from iLogos, we expect the most brilliant
results from the joint effort of our companies. This strategic partnership
is going to help our licensees bring better looking games to market
faster,’ said Alex Shalash, Chairman of the Board of Idea Fabrik. ‘Idea
Fabrik is continually adding time-saving systems and resources to the
HeroCloud platform to better serve smaller independent developers. One of
those systems is an asset store, which iLogos will be crucial in bringing
to fruition.’
