Emergent's New Partner Program to Offer Complete, Single Source Development Framework on Gamebryo

Emergent to Resell Partner Products in Premier Level of Program

Emergent Game Technologies is putting even more power, choice and creative control in developers' hands through a new partner program that integrates industry-leading middleware technology into the Emergent development framework.

The program, consisting of Emergent Premier Partners and Emergent Certified Partners, will create the broadest range of game production solutions and design tools available from one source.

Participating partners will co-develop with Emergent's partner engineering team an enterprise quality integration of products, including samples, demos, and documentation. As with all of Emergent's offerings, its partners' products will be certified as having been rigorously tested in a game development environment. As an added benefit, Emergent Premier Partners will receive co-marketing and joint sales support by Emergent, who will serve as a value-added reseller for its Premier Partners' products.

For game developers, the program creates a game production framework offering unrivaled flexibility and scalability with the leading middleware products all working together out-of-the-box. A higher degree of technology interoperability allows developers to choose the products that best meet their needs and easily add new tools over time as they become available on the Gamebryo framework.

The first company to join the Emergent Premier Partners program is Audiokinetic(R). AGEIA is the first to join the Emergent Certified Partners program.

"The partner program is a significant part of our larger mission to integrate partners, community, developers and other technologies into a singular ecosystem," said Geoffrey Selzer, CEO of Emergent. "It is our framework approach that allows us to empower developers by facilitating the maximum flexibility and creativity in a scalable development environment."
