Blue Fang Sinks Into Havok Independent Developer Program

Posted February 17, 2010 by David Radd

Havok announced today that Blue Fang Games has joined their Independent Developer Program. This will give the developer the ability to pick-and-choose among Havok's tools and technologies in addition to the middleware creator's support functions.

“Havok allowed our engineers to focus on the technology that enabled Blue Fang to create, in World of Zoo, the most compelling animal behavior ever seen in games - or anywhere else, for that matter,” said Bruce Blumberg, Lead Character Engineer of Blue Fang Games. “By building our system on top of Havok Behavior, we were able to bring new concepts to market more quickly and at significantly less cost and risk than ever before. Havok Behavior is an integral part of our next generation animal AI system. We continue to be extremely impressed with the functionality and design of Havok Behavior and its associated tool.”

“Havok is pleased to welcome Blue Fang Games to our Independent Developer Program. The Blue Fang team is a powerhouse of talent with extremely innovative home-grown technology,” said David O’Meara, Managing Director of Havok. “Havok worked closely with Blue Fang Games in creating a customized solution to enhance its technology investment efficiently and effectively.”
