Halo Devs Approve Fan-made Halo Game Installation 01

June 30, 2017

Installation 01 is a fan-made Halo game which aims “to build an artistic tribute to Halo that recreates the multiplayer experience of the Bungie-era games”. Installation 01 is designed for PC and using Unity Engine 5 to bring the best performance to the gamers.

But as we all know, when you tinker with big bosses’ toys, you may get into trouble. Halo is a worldwide known game by the community and creating a fan-made version of the game draws attention. Developers of Installation 01 claim that they are operating very carefully under Microsoft‘s Game Content Usage Rules.

Developers of Installation 01 were trying to gain acceptance from Halo Studio 343 Industries and finally, their efforts paid off.

“Over the past few months, we’ve shared details of our development plans with 343: our release schedule, planned content, and more. Up until very recently, this was a one-way street, with us sending them information and them thanking us for maintaining contact and keeping them informed. This changed recently. 343 Industries gave us an opportunity to participate in a call with a few company higher-ups to engage in a meet-and-greet and involved discussion about the future of our project. They also gave us an opportunity to ask a lot of questions about the ongoing legal status of the project. We are happy to announce that the outcome of the call was both incredibly informational and very positive! Through these interactions we have been ensured that Installation 01 is not under imminent legal threat, provided we remain non-commercial in nature and scope, and continue to follow Microsoft’s Game Content Usage Rules to the letter.”

With the approval of 343 Industries, developers are now at ease yet they are still very careful about the conditions and rules. They can not accept any donation or sale any game related merchandise.

Here is the Installation 01 trailer. The game has no release date yet and we will be back when it has one.
