MindFuse Using HeroEngine for Gatheryn

MindFuse and Simutronics announced a licensing agreement today for MindFuse's upcoming casual MMO, The Gatheryn, to be developed with HeroEngine. With Gatheryn set to debut in the first half of 2009, it will be the first product developed with HeroEngine to hit the market.  In October MindFuse announced that it had raised $1 million and was planning on raising another round in November.

"By licensing the HeroEngine, we can focus our technology development and engineering team on the various unique social, personalization and online community features that the Gatheryn player will experience," said Joseph Walters, Lead Designer and Chief Executive Officer of MindFuse Games. "The engine enables our team to spend time creating the experience instead of recreating the already-proven type of server side MMOG technology that Simutronics has built so effectively."
