License and Pricing Options - no prices listed on their site.

Simutronics recognizes that different projects have different financial requirements. While you should expect pricing commensurate with an industry-leading complete development platform, we are prepared to be reasonably flexible in terms of pricing and payment timing. Whether you need a royalty-free license or a low up-front price, whether you are ready to start full development or need a limited license to build your prototype, there is a license plan that will work for you.

Basic HeroEngine License

The basic HeroEngine license entitles the developer to create and operate a single game title. This license includes the executable code for the basic HeroEngine client, server, and tools, plus full training, support, and updates.

Source Code License

The source code HeroEngine license provides everything in the Basic license plus access to complete source code. Optionally, you may also license the right to create new modules and capabilities. Pricing and support for source code licenses is based on specific needs of the developer -- contact us to discuss details.

Prototype and Evaluation License

If your team needs a short time to test HeroEngine or build a prototype game for your backers, Simutronics offers a limited-time and limited-seat model to get you started. Including full training and full support, this license is right for small teams getting started or large teams proving their designs.

Integrated and Optional Middleware Licenses

HeroEngine includes leading development tools integrated with our code. Occlusion, animation, physics, character design and vegetation are enhanced by the best tools available, and optional add-ins include AI, sound design, 3D voice, user interface design, data analysis, and more.
