ENGINE DEVELOPMENT
It’s no coincidence that three of the industry’s most successful game engines are produced within minutes of each other. The Triangle’s position as a leader in computer science, engineering and software development—combined with a thriving game industry—makes it the perfect place for this type of technology-intensive development work.
Epic Games’ Unreal Engine has been used in literally hundreds of games and nine out of the top 10 publishers worldwide license Unreal Engine 3. Emergent Game Technologies‘ Gamebryo has been used in over 250 titles, including EA’s WarHammer and Dark Age of Camelot. Vicious Cycle has recently released its next generation Vicious Engine 2.
