History

Luxoflux was founded by Adrian Stephens and Peter Morawiec in Santa Monica, California, in 1997. Their first game was Vigliante 8, which has been developed until the publication in 1998 by a staff of five people and published by Activision. The immense success of the game brought the developer on the way, another consequence for PlayStation, Nintendo 64 and Dreamcast to develop. Each of these games has been established solely with the small cast of Luxoflux teams.

Initially Luxoflux should be baptized in the name of "Alpha Channel", but that name was already taken. " Luxoflux " was the result of a mixing of different syllables on a white board, and later " movement of light " was defined as meaning.

Luxoflux was acquired in October 2002 by Activision, while the development of True Crime: Streets of LA was underway. In this project, more than 80 people were employed.

In February 2010 it was announced that Activision Luxoflux closes.
