When I say all of them, I MEAN all of them. We looked at every single engine we could find, and every single good engine we could find we looked at in depth.

There may at some point be a full explanation of all that an Online Entertainment Experience entails, but it’s a term i didn’t help create so I can’t really give a fully accurate definition.

What’s up with the little trademark? It sounds like the Copernicus Project is aiming to be something different from a traditional MMO(G). Any chance we’ll hear some specifics soon about what OEE means?

Easily, with Maya, before buying bigworld, you can have most of your models/animation done before even touching the engine.

We decided to do things right and do a lot of work before implementing too much, and as mentioned in the press release, in our current phase we are focused on prototyping (hence the need for an engine).

While some companies just dive right into implementation, we feel that it’s better to plan, prototype, then produce. I think there’s a good slogan in there given how many Ps I just used.
