History

Massive Development was founded in 1994 by Alexander Jorias, Ingo Frick and Oliver Weirich in Mannheim.

Her first work in 1994 was the port of the Amiga game The Settlers on the PC platform. 1996 came out the successful sci-fi submarine role-playing simulation crawl speed, which was published by Blue Byte.

In December 2000, Massive was acquired by the Austrian publisher JoWooD. By 2001, its own 3D game engine for the successor of slow travel, AquaNox, developed Krass engine. This could ausreizen one of the first of the new hardware capabilities of graphics cards with T & L, which is why, among other things AquaNox was driven with such graphics cards in a bundle. 2003, the second part of AquaNox was published. In May 2005, the Studio of JoWooD was closed, even Aquanox 2: The Angel 's Tears for the PS2 was canceled.

Two of the original founders, Alexander Jorias and Ingo Frick, now working on a 3D chat with social networking features, Club Cooee.
