| What is Stargate Worlds? |
Stargate Worlds is an Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG), based on the Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis TV series, with playable areas based on historical & fictional human time periods, alien environments, and outer space locations.
The Game is being developed by Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment. |
| Who is Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment? |
| Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment is a development company based out of Arizona. We are currently in the production phase of a MMORPG, Stargate Worlds. |
| What is Cheyenne's company background? |
| CME was founded in July 2005 and then we obtained the license from MGM in September 2005 for the Stargate franchise. |
| Who works for Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment? |
| Our company is comprised of talented industry veterans who have cumulatively shipped over 80 game titles. CME is also funded by several high net worth individuals. |
| Will Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment only develop MMO games? |
| CME plans on developing projects of various types on many different platforms. |
| Why Stargate SG-1/Atlantis? |
| Stargate SG-1/Atlantis is an ideal property for a science fiction MMO. With 10 seasons of SG-1, 4 seasons of Atlantis, two DVD movies and a future series underway, the wealth of story material is unmatched in breadth and depth. Players will encounter alien and human adversaries, visit exotic locations, space travel, and embroil themselves in major conflicts than span the galaxy. All this contained in a modern fictional universe that could be our own. |
| How does the recent cancellation of the Television show, Stargate SG-1 affect Stargate Worlds? |
| We understood that the cancellation was always a possibility. Our writers are creating story arcs that won't be affected by the show. We look forward to continuing the Stargate story and possibly collaborating on new Stargate products. |
| What will differentiate Stargate Worlds from the existing products on the market? |
| Stargate Worlds provides players with a form of squad-based ranged combat unique to an MMORPG that will take full advantage of modern and science fiction weaponry, cover, and terrain. We also plan on focusing on non-combat gameplay to allow players a rich crafting and construction experience. The unique game experience will be played with state-of-the art graphics and technology. |
| What races will be playable in Stargate Worlds? |
| Our current plan is for players to choose to play the ‘Big Four’ races within the Stargate Universe. Humans, Jaffa, Goa’uld and Asgard. |
| When will the game be finished? When is the expected release date? |
| Stargate Worlds is currently in pre-production, which is expected to continue until late spring. We will use the community site to update everyone on both the current status and the expected release date as we proceed. |
| What will be the cost to play Stargate Worlds? |
| The pricing strategy and structure has not yet been finalized. We are in pre-production with this game and when the game is closer to launch our publishers will establish pricing at which point it will be announced. |
| Will Stargate Worlds be released on Mac, or consoles? |
| Currently the plan for Stargate Worlds is to release on the PC. However, we realize that there are MMO and Stargate fans on many platforms, and we would like to explore as many of these options as we can. Once we have confirmed which platforms will be supported we will make an announcement on this website. |
| How can I become a beta tester? |
We are going to be seeking testers some time in the future, closer to the game’s release. At that time there will likely be an invitation to join the beta first on our forums:
http://forums.stargateworlds.com
As we need more testers, an invitation will be posted on our official website:
http://www.stargateworlds.com
Please watch both these locations for the invitation to beta. |
| Will the game be available in other countries? Which ones? |
| Yes, we plan on launching the game globally. |
| Who will you market the game to? |
| We will market Stargate Worlds as an MMO-RPG that can be played by anyone including Stargate SG-1 fans, current MMO players, gamers, and even non-gamers. We see our game as being "easy to learn, hard to master". |
| Is Stargate Worlds related to The Alliance, the Stargate game from Perception? |
| No, we partnered with MGM in September 2005 for the development of an MMO-RPG. We have no relationship with Perception. |
| Do you have a publisher for Stargate Worlds? |
| No, we do not have a publisher at this time. Several publishers have expressed interest in the game but we are still in pre-production and are concentrating on building our art and technology assets. At the appropriate time, we will engage publishers for our various worldwide releases. |
| Are you planning on getting one publisher or more than one? |
| We will probably get more than one. One for North America and others for the foreign countries as appropriate. |
| How are you funding the development until you get a publisher? |
| We have private investors which will support the project until its completion. We are not relying upon publisher funding to develop this game. |
| Do your investors have control over the development of the game? |
| We have many investors. The investors have appointed a Board of Directors. The Board provides strategic direction for the company, but all day-to-day development decisions are made by senior management of the company. |
