The proliferation of online gaming is rapidly transforming the game development landscape. Tomorrow’s successful online games, regardless of genre, require foundational server technology that provides flexibility in scope, production and deployment without constraining game design or compromising quality of service.

Recently, Emergent has focused our resources and our expertise on developing highly customizable and scalable server technology that will facilitate the rapid development and delivery of peer-to-peer games, MMOs and other online games. Like all Emergent products, the upcoming game server is being designed and built to be genre-agnostic. With seamless integration to Gamebryo and to a larger framework of development tools, Emergent’s Server will help you speed the iterative process across the entire development cycle, and overcome the challenges of online development – not only those we fully understand now, but those that are looming on the horizon.

At a high level, you can expect to see the following from Server

Networking protocols to support any type of online game or connectivity requirements

A data-driven entity architecture for peer-to-peer or lightweight casual games to full-scale persistent world MMOs

A shared framework to support end-to-end game development with Emergent’s Gamebryo engine and a host of content creation tools 

Expect more details & release information for Emergent Server in the future.
