General Discussion

Recently, the world learned that NetDevil's upcoming Jumpgate Evolution would be published by Codemasters. MMORPG.com's Jon Wood had the opportunity to ask some early questions to the publisher about the agreement and the game itself.

MMORPG.com:

How long have you had your eye on Jumpgate Evolution as a possibility for publication?

Codemasters:

As a business we monitor all titles in the market and Jumpgate as a title shone out brightly in a particularly cluttered space. We feel that Jumpgate offers us as a publisher / operator of the game the right genre, the right theme, the right hooks and features along with the right development partner. As you can probably tell we are extremely excited about Jumpgate and we look forward to bringing this exciting new game to market along with our good friends at Net Devil.

It's already Winter 2008!

I'll order it now....

The game looks interesting, Codemasters are around 5 miles from my home in the UK, shame they dont need any .net web developers ;).

The link at the bottom is incorrect, it's needs the http.

The current plan is to release the game in winter 2008 however we are not in a position to announce a firm date as yet.

KhanUK,

Maybe we do! :) Visit our recruitment site on www.thenewbreed.info and submit a speculative application.

Also, as you're so nearby, have you thought about maybe coming to our Connect '08 event in Birmingham? We'll have playable Jumpgate code there throughout the two days :)

Check out http://www.codemastersconnect.com for more information.

Hope to see you there!

And Beta might be happening when, by chance?

hmmm, a flight/combat model like battlestar galactica ? (hey, they made the comparison, grin)

i could go for that.

Will there be game time cards for JG Evolution? Perhaps with three different artworks, one for each of the playable nations? This has been on my wish list almost since I started playing the "classic" game on the EU server back in '02.

And another thing, Codemasters, while I really like to see JGE in shelves, please make it downloadable as well with no additional cost than the monthly fee.

Oh, and please offer more payment options for one-time payments.

This is standard practice, your lack of understanding is the only failure.

What a winning combination:

NetDevil:  Auto Assault (failure), Jumpgate (failure)

Codemasters:  ArchLord (failure), RF Online (failure), Dungeons & Dragons Online (failure)

Things are looking good...

...for another failure
