Torus Games
# Torus Games

Torus Games Pty. Ltd. è un'azienda australiana fondata nel 1994 che sviluppa videogiochi.

Ha iniziato a sviluppare il loro primo gioco nel 1994, un gioco per Game Boy e Game Gear basato sul film Stargate, pubblicato da Acclaim Entertainment. Torus ha pubblicato oltre 100 titoli.

L'azienda utilizza un unico motore di gioco multipiattaforma scalabile che supporta attivamente Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, Wii, Wii U, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS, iOS, Nintendo DSi e PlayStation Vita. Il motore grafico funziona in modo univoco su console, palmari (compresi quelli senza supporto in virgola mobile) e telefoni cellulari, e la loro pipeline delle risorse unificate consente a Torus di offrire lo stesso gioco dallo stesso codice-base in comune su tutte le piattaforme hardware.

Torus Games ha sede a Bayswater, in Victoria. L'amministratore delegato è Bill McIntosh. Torus è un'azienda a conduzione famigliare.

La società è più comunemente conosciuta per i suoi giochi di azione / avventura basati su licenze ben note. Tra le pubblicazioni più recenti di Torus Games ricordiamo Barbie e le sue sorelle: Salvataggio Cuccioli e Monster High: New Ghoul in School su PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, Wii U, Steam e 3DS, entrambe pubblicate da Little Orbit.

Nel 2015, Torus Games ha ricevuto il premio come miglior sviluppatore della Disney per l'impegno profuso nell'ambito dell'iniziativa Disney Imagicademy. Hanno anche lanciato il loro primo gioco originale su iOS e Android, Crystal Crusade, seguito da Flipper Fox e Heidi Price e t'Orent Express nel 2016.
