NGD Studios
NGD Studios is a game development company located in Argentina. They started as a three group fusion and were the creators of an acclaimed game for a construction kit toy called Mis Ladrillos, which is similar to Lego toys. Mis Ladrillos translates to something like "My Bricks."
They later created a mobile gaming division. Making games for known brands like Axe and doing development for the multinational GlobalFun.
After some successful games, GlobalFun actually acquired the mobile division from NGD Studios.
They are currently continuing development of a real-time, 3D massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) which emphasizes flexible gameplay and dynamic content. The game is called Regnum Online and it has been in development for more than 4 years before its release in the first quarter, 2007.
The game was intended for the Spanish speaking market at the beginning but then improved enough to be targeted for other zones as well.
Right now the game supports Spanish, German,English and Portuguese with plans to expand to Swedish and other languages.
The game uses a proprietary engine called ng3d which was built from scratch with Massive Multiplayer games in mind. It supports a variety of features found in today's engines, such as hardware shaders support, continuous world loading and asynchronous resource management.
Regnum Online was officially released on may 24th, 2007. Any information about future expansions and features have been not disclosed yet.
