Free Europa Game Engine
free via Gamer's Gate:New
York, USA (April 25, 2008) - Paradox Interactive today announced a unique
agreement with leading PC download portal GamersGate to release its "Europa"
engine to the gaming community worldwide. The "Europa" engine has been the basis
of many award-winning games like the Hearts of Iron series and Europa
Universalis II and has been the focus of significant financial investments over
the years.
In an unprecedented deal, GamersGate will make room for these indie-developed
products on the digital distribution platform and offer each team or individual
the same financial deal given to established publishers on the platform.
"Through GamersGate, creative gamers worldwide will be given access to a
development tool that will allow them to fulfill their game developer ambitions
while getting access to a global distribution network without the costs and
risks that are normally involved in game development and distribution, said CEO
of Paradox Interactive Theodore Bergquist.
While Paradox Interactive plans to set a few minimum criteria, anyone interested
will get a shot at using the technique to develop games and then sell them on
GamersGate.
"This initiative is a way for us to give back to the gaming community by
facilitating for game developers to turn their hobbies into lucrative projects,
continued Mr Bergquist.
