Spicy Horse (Chinese: 麻辣馬; pinyin: Ma La Ma) is a China-based, independent, video game developer started by American McGee in 2007. It was called a studio "leading the way" in episodic games.[1][2]
Spicy Horse employs more than 35 people at their studio in Changning District, Shanghai. The company's development process utilizes a "core team" methodology and 100% outsourced art asset production to conserve energy directed at the core competencies of game development.
Their first title, American McGee's Grimm, was released on GameTap in July 2008 in an episodic form and will run through March of 2009. It has been developed using Epic's Unreal Engine 3.
Spicy Horse will develop the sequel to American McGee's Alice for Electronic Arts.[3]
