Equinoxe Digital Entertainment[]
Equinoxe Digital Entertainment (pronouced Eh-queen-oux) was a game middleware developer, based in Santa Monica, California. It was founded in 2009 by former members of "Balls" Engine Development Team and Zynga with the members of the previous Equinoxe, to create a groundbreaking engine for video games.
In 2010, Traveller's Tales and Nintendo decided to give the engine to Equinoxe Digital Entertainment, because they needed a ready engine to modify. Later on, after Terminal Reality was closed, Infernal Engine was given to Equinxe Digital Entertainment.
In 2013, Equinoxe established another office located at Vancouver.
The Tokyo, Shanghai, Seoul and Austin offices were sold to UltraNitro Studios, while Berlin, Malmo and Maitland offices were bought by Geoshea Games, Co, while the staff at the offices in Burnaby, Chertsey, Helsinki, Tampere, Riverside, San Antonio and Lappeenranta were all moved to "Balls" Studios Montreal with the middleware previously developed by Equinoxe, except for the engine of the same name and Abstegro.
