Emergent Game Technologies has announced the casual version of their game engine Gamebryo. Gamebryo, up until this point, has been aimed at big development projects and has been used by companies such as Bethesda and NCSoft.

Emergent Games has decided to offer a casual games license under the Gamebryo Casual title. Casual game developers now have a chance to utilize a popular game engine for their casual games, which should make certain aspects of building a game easier.

Emergent is looking to take the casual game industry beyond what is possible today. We see a future where short format games have the same level of graphics, interactivity and gameplay as big budget releases.

It is great to see a popular game engine opening up to the casual side of things. Many casual games contain great graphics and now they have the chance to contain even better graphics. Even though it is the game play that makes the game and not the graphics. There has not been a price announced yet, but hopefully it is priced at a fair level, which will give casual developers a chance to use the engine.
