"The toolset is by far better than any other middleware we have
tested/looked at.
"HeroEngine made it possible since it vastly improves time to market."

License and Pricing Options
HeroEngine is the top-of-the-line professional package for MMO and virtual
world development. Licensing models are available for teams based on
your financial and distribution needs.
Designed for AAA teams and major publishers, this license includes everything – client,
server, toolset, complete source code, a reference copy of Hero's Journey
for sample code, and documentation. This license structure
gives you the right to release a title in any region of the world royalty-free.
Designed for teams that are limiting distribution to a single region, this
license includes the HeroEngine client, server, toolset, a reference copy of
Hero's Journey for sample code, and documentation. This
license gives you the right to release a title in a single region royalty-free.
Examples of regions are: North America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, China,
S. Korea, India, Australia, Africa, and Latin America. The China region
includes nearby Chinese speaking countries.
Designed to keep your initial costs low, this program trades up-front costs
against royalties on your title's revenues. You can choose worldwide
or regional distribution rights to further tailor the cost to your budget and
needs. This license includes the HeroEngine client, server, toolset,
a reference copy of Hero's Journey for sample code, and documentation.
As with any major enterprise level software, HeroEngine offers full maintenance
and support. This annual program covers your technical and product support
needs plus entitles you to regular product updates and upgrades.
Teams beginning with HeroEngine are invited to our training classes at our
St. Charles, MO facility. This intensive week-long course is hands-on
and will bring your team up to speed fast. You can also schedule one-on-one
follow-up training at your own facility.
If your team needs a short time to test HeroEngine or build a prototype game
for your backers, Simutronics offers a limited-time and limited-seat model
to get you started. Including full training and full support, this license
is right for small teams getting started or large teams proving their designs.
We can also offer accredited teams up to 30 days of free access to HeroEngine
for evaluation and testing of HeroEngine.
HeroEngine is designed for professional development teams. We cannot
offer free licenses and we do not offer student pricing for individuals. If
you represent an educational institution that is interested in HeroEngine for
your classrooms, please contact us.
HeroEngine includes leading development tools integrated with our code. Occlusion,
animation, physics, character design and vegetation are enhanced by the best
tools available, and optional add-ins include AI, sound design, 3D voice, user
interface design, data analysis, and more. Contact
us for a complete list of required and optional middleware that is already
integrated with HeroEngine.
For North American companies who want to focus on the game and leave operations
to us, we offer a package that includes HeroEngine plus hosting, billing, and
customer service. Our in-house technology includes all forms of billing
and pricing – you can charge for subscriptions, in-game item transactions,
and sell ads. We can also assist with sales and marketing by working with publishers
to secure retail box space and through publicizing your title to the trade
press.
Please contact us at anytime, we are always happy
to help you understand our technology and business terms. Feel free to call or write,
schedule a time to visit our development studio near St. Louis, see a demo,
or conduct technical due diligence.
