    MESA, Ariz., March 6 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Cheyenne
Mountain Entertainment, a rising game development company,
today announced that they have chosen the BigWorld
Technology Suite as the platform for their ground-breaking
new MMORPG, Stargate Worlds.  This officially licensed MGM
property is the first massively multiplayer game based on
the Stargate series, and promises to deliver all of the
SG-1 & Atlantis exploration, conflict and excitement to
players around the world.

    "We evaluated many client server solutions to aid
us in creating a truly breakthrough next-generation
MMO," said Joe Ybarra, Vice President of Product
Development at Cheyenne Mountain.  "But by far the
best overall solution for us is BigWorld's powerful
client/server engine and streamlined production toolset. 
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 to be 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.  The BigWorld Server
architecture allows operators to run several games on a
single server cluster, dramatically reducing the cost of
running the game, while the enhanced Content Creation
Pipeline reduces the time and cost of building and filling
out the complex worlds required in next-generation games.
