"When we established Colony Studios, it was important our dev team be able to hit the ground running -- we weren't in a position to spend time developing our own technology. Therefore, we wanted to mitigate our overall risk and go with a cutting edge and solid piece of middleware tech. We spent time evaluating existing middleware solutions such as Unreal, BigWorld, Multiverse, and others, but decided upon the HeroEngine for its ease of use, strength of technology, and ease of content creation."
