We are excited to be teaming up with them on this project.” The BigWorld Technology Suite is an integrated set of tools, software and systems that provides all of the underlying technology and content development tools required to produce an MMOG. “The Stargate universe has evolved into one of the most recognized sci-fi brands in recent times,” said Gavin Longhurst, Director of Business Development for BigWorld, “We are thrilled to see such an experienced and talented team as Cheyenne Mountain using BigWorld Technology to bring this visually stunning universe into the highly interactive, compelling online experience that fans and gamers want.” BigWorld Technology Suite provides operators and studios with a lower total time-to-build and cost of ownership through several innovations.
