We are experienced in PC, console and hand-held videogame development.
Where appropriate, our work centres around the use of our flexible videogame development technology known as Beelzebub.
Beelzebub is the name given to a large suite of routines and
sub-systems that share protocols, allowing each to talk to the other
without any additional work. Beelzebub is fundamentally cross-platform,
although some parts of it (such as the renderer) are almost entirely
different for each platform as soon as you look beneath the API.
World-building and scene creation tools accompany Beelzebub, and various plug-ins for programs such as Maya, 3D Studio Max and Photoshop complete the data pipeline.
