Good for them.


Ben Armour, Senior VP of Corporate Development for Kiz, said: “We were looking for a complete solution that enabled us to rapidly build our online 3D Global Playground while maintaining a high level of quality, and HeroEngine was by far the best solution for us.”

"According to the firm, toy and game firm Kiz is licensing HeroEngine to build KizPlanet, to be marketed with its forthcoming line of toys, KizPal and KizMoto."

That game don't exactly sound like a big money maker.

At least it's being picked up. As long as they pay for the license, I don't think Simu cares at all. Look what happened to Too Human with the Unreal engine. That game was an epic flop (10 years of dev, 200k copies sold), and they blamed Epic. I seriously doubt Epic is hurting over the pending lawsuit.

This is also good news for any former HJ devs.

I'll just leave this here. I had play.net on there, but it didn't even show up.

I wonder if I dress up like a Japanese concubine and offer my services to Whatley if he'll give me ten jillion dollars.

...With that kind of money, you could buy the Supreme Court.

I wonder where Maple story compares to those two.
