DECK13 Interactive GmbH
Overview
Triggerlab GmbH was founded in Germany in 2001. Previously, the management team had already been involved with games since 1997 at
Artex Software, developing games for the Acorn RiscPC platform such as
Exodus: The Colonisation of Space.
The company's first release was
Stealth Combat (2002), a tactical shooter. In April 2002 the company changed its name to
Deck13 Interactive GmbH and started focusing entirely on point-and-click adventure games. They continued the
Ankh franchise, established in 1998 with the release of
Ankh: The Tales of Mystery on Acorn RiscPC by the Artex Software team.
After the release of the
Ankh, the 2005 sequel, two more stand-alone episodes were developed:
Ankh: Heart of Osiris (2006) and
Ankh: Battle of the Gods (2007). In between they also released an entirely different adventure:
Jack Keane (2007).
The company still uses the name Artex Software as a brand for a line of budget publishing.
