Exploring BigWorld

You may not have heard of the BigWorld Technology Suite, but there are some good reasons to learn more about this set of MMO development tools. Shayalyn and Ethec sat down with Gavin Longhurst, Director of Business Development for BigWorld at the Online Game Development Conference.

What is the BigWorld MMO Technology Suite? It consists of things like server applications, an advanced 3D game engine, and content creation tools. The BigWorld Suite can be used for such things as building terrain, simulating weather events, producing realistic water effects and creating dynamic lighting. It contains sophisticated animation tools, as well. Dark & Light uses BigWorld’s server technology. Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment has licensed the BigWorld Suite for its MMOG in development, Stargate Worlds.
