Vicious Engine Powers Xbox 360

Vicious Cycle Software has announced today that their next-generation middleware development platform has been approved for use on the Xbox 360 console Tools and Middleware Program. The Vicious Engine is a robust platform allowing game creation without the need for full-time programmers.

"The Vicious Engine’s entry into the Xbox 360 Tools and Middleware Program reflects our continued dedication to providing developers with the tools they need to create great games for the latest video game systems," said Eric Peterson, president at Vicious Cycle Software. "Using the Vicious Engine, developers can focus on creativity and innovation rather than worrying over technical details."

Some highlights of the Vicious Engine includes point-and-click scripting, comprehensive integrated physics solution, easy AI development, straightforward platform conversion, powerful rendering and accurate and efficient dynamic scenes. Currently, the Vicious Engine is being used for the recently confirmed next-gen LucasArts title, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed due out later this year for the Xbox 360 and PS3.
