Vicious Cycle Software, Inc.
Overview
When layoffs at
Hasbro Interactive closed the
MicroProse development studio in Chapel Hill, North Carolina (USA) in January 2000, many of team members stayed together and founded Vicious Cycle Software in less than four months, officially opening doors on 3rd April, 2000.
On 20th June, 2007, it was officially announced Vicious Cycle Software was acquired by
D3 Publisher of America, Inc. and became a subsidiary of the company. Previously, Vicious Cycle Software had already worked together with D3, as a developer or co-developer for games D3 published, such as
Dead Head Fred,
Flushed Away,
Aardman, and the PSP SKU of
Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords. After the acquisition,
Eric Peterson remained President and
Wayne Harvey Vice President of Vicious Cycle Software. No re-location was needed.
Next to original and licensed intellectual property, the company has also developed the
Vicious Engine development technology for consoles, handhelds and the PC. In 2007, the company employs about 50 people.
