Bioware's "Eclipse Engine"?
With the recent news of Neverwinter Nights 2 and Baldur's Gate 3 rumors, I couldn't contain my anxiety and had to try to find out more. I did a trademark search for Bioware and an unfamiliar (well to me at least) game engine popped up:
If I'm correct, I know Baldur's Gate/Icewind Dale uses the Infinity Engine, NWN uses the Aurora Engine, KotOR 1&2 use the Odyssey Engine, according to Bioware's Dragon Age FAQ(http://www.bioware.com/games/dragon_age/faq/#12 ) the upcoming Dragon Age is using an engine called the "Bioware Dragon Age Engine", and finally according to Bioware's Jade Empire FAQ(http://jade.bioware.com/game_info/faq.html#07 ), it uses an entirely different engine than KotOR.
The filing date was May 28, 2004. So, what game could be running on this engine? It's name certainly doesn't seem to be giving any clues.
