Producers
Integrated Project Management -- HeroEngine makes it easy to keep track of progress and delegate tasks within the system. Use the HeroEngine Notes whiteboard tool to mark up and annotate an area. Send a note to all parties involved and instantly link them to the area that needs attention and tell them exactly what you want them to complete.
Real-time Worldwide Distribution Results -- Using HeroEngine notes, you can delegate to your team all around the globe and see the results instantly.
Rapid Prototyping and Playtesting -- As soon as a project is implemented, you can playtest and make immediate improvements while it's still fresh.
Artists
Fluid Pipeline from Creation to Game -- Create and import instantly. No nightly-builds, no asset merges, no "PAK" files to generate. What you drop in the repository is immediately available to everyone.
Real-Time Asset Revision -- Assets update throughout the game as soon as you make changes. Organize assets in libraries. Group them together for even more flexibility.
Intelligent 3D Objects -- Technical artists can wire in grid and rotation systems as they are created, to make world building even easier.
World Builders
Powerful Heightmap Tools -- Sculpt and texture, hide seams, carve holes, all collaboratively and in real-time.
Robust Ground Clutter Options -- Paint dynamic ground clutter, billboards, 3D models, etc. Each channel of clutter is fully and dynamically adjustable.
Intelligent Asset Library and Snapping Guides -- Build towns and dungeons from a library of components that know how to intelligently snap together.
Dynamic Sound and Light -- Exert complete control over light sources, color schemes, and audio.
Game Designers
Implement and Test Systems Instantly -- Build and test instantly in real-time. Catch scripting errors immediately and work more efficiently. Switch instantly from world building, to game mechanics, to scripting, to actual play testing.
Custom GUI Tools -- Both game and tool user interfaces can be crafted directly in HeroBlade and are available and live immediately. Use the HeroEngine GUI system, Scaleform GFx (for Flash-based GUIs) or a hybrid of both.
Complete Customizability -- Use and extend the MMO Foundation Framework Tools or build your own.
