The Logic Factory is an award-winning video game development company founded by Jason and Todd Templeman in 1993.[2] The company is responsible for Ascendancy (1995), a turn-based science fiction strategy game for the PC, The Tone Rebellion (1997), and Ascendancy for mobile gaming on the iOS platform (2011).
[edit] Projects
Several years after the release of The Tone Rebellion The Logic Factory revealed several other projects they had been working on, including Ascendancy II, Fire, and a new 3D game engine called "Hydra".[3] Hydra was an "in-house 3D game engine" that "took more than a year of effort and more than $2 million to create". It is a "portable, discreet package of developer resources that ... [had] multiple applications for inputting interactive music, full 3d worlds and the objects and actions that are incorporated into them". It would also be portable across platforms.[3]
Ascendancy II will "take the same fundamental principles of galactic exploration and encounter ... [as] the original ... and modernize and translate them to work in a persistent online multiplayer universe".[3] It will be made using the Hydra engine. Fire meanwhile would "utilize the 3d world creation capabilities of our Hydra development engine to create a ... fire fighting simulation that is simple to use, but hard to master".[3]
