Recap: GDC 2012
We are all back from San Francisco, somewhat rested and recovered from all the madness surrounding GDC. For those of you that haven’t been, exhibiting at the show is a non-stop event. We arrived a few days early to set-up our booth and during the show we are easily on our feet for 12 hours a day. By the end of each day, very few of us have much energy…

Highlights from Game Connection
Last week HeroEngine attended Game Connection, a networking style conference that brings developers, publishers and tech providers together. The event took place in Paris’ business district, right by the Grande Arche, a very cool building with unique architecture. More than 400 companies attended from about 40 countries. This was our first year attending and we met with some current HeroEngine developers, demoed our tools to some interested studios from Poland,…
HeroEngine Meets StarWars
Hero’s Journey Long ago in a company far far away, we were building a game called Hero’s Journey. It was an ambitious game with many wonderful features. We had our own special way of building games based on a unique process that we had developed while building pioneering online games like GemStone and DragonRealms. Our goal was to build a modern graphical MMO RPG that allowed our team of designers…
GDC Europe & GamesCom Recap
We’re back from Cologne, Germany! While we’re still a bit jet lagged (we’ll spare you the details of some of our travel journeys back) we had a fantastic trip! GamesCom was extremely crowded, and on Friday exceeded capacity as people had to be turned away. Highlights included Bethesda Softworks’, a HeroEngine licensee, Skyrim. Lines to see SWOTR were long, warranting SWOTR snagging the Best Online Game award. One of us even had the…
