PX Interactive’s MMO networking solution to power upcoming MMORPG Aerrevan
September 15th, 2010: CubeForce Media, an independent studio which specializes in the development of Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPGs) and PX Interactive, makers of the NetDog 2 MMO networking engine, announced that NetDog 2 will power CubeForce Media's upcoming MMORPG Aerrevan.
Aerrevan's developers made quick work of integrating NetDog 2 into the existing Beta Release,
taking just one month (including testing and QA) to swap out their entire existing networking
architecture with NetDog 2 (while working on plenty of non-networking related tasks in parallel).
Aerrevan has a number of new and exciting features and is also special because of how it's being developed, with stress placed on interaction with the gaming community to make fans to feel like they are part of the development cycle.
In their development log, Aerrevan's development team notes:
A few weeks into beta, we made a decision to rewrite our networking protocol and integrate a middleware solution to improve the stability, security and quality of our networking. We transitioned to the new networking system about a month ago, and it was a significant improvement over the old one.
"During production of our new MMORPG, Aerrevan, we needed a network solution
that would provide security while maximizing network throughput," explains Neil Oosterveen,
Executive Producer of Aerrevan. "NetDog has met these needs and has proved to be a solid
platform for our networking API. The sales and support staff are always available, and ready to help."
The NetDog team is equally enthusiastic about the partnership. "It's always a pleasure to
see NetDog incorporated into a game like Aerrevan, since this is what NetDog was born to do—allow
creation of huge MMO worlds with rich and responsive environments such as those present in Aerrevan,"
says Jordan Gilliland, CEO at PX Interactive.
