Far Gate was released in September 2001 and was Super X Studios’s first game project. We built on existing conventions of the Real-Time Stretegy (RTS) genre, making the move to a full 3-dimensional battlefield. With unique ship designs and great visuals, Far Gate took home the 2000 Independent Games Festival Audience Award and subsequently saw a worldwide release.
