ACE Team is an independent video game developer based in Santiago, Chile. Most of the members of the team have experience working on PC games, the Xbox Live Arcade platform and game modifications for several titles.[1]
History
ACE Team was created as a modification (or mod) development group and its name comes from the initials of its founders; brothers Andres Bordeu, Carlos Bordeu, and Edmundo Bordeu.
In 1999, after Ace created the mod Batman DOOM for Doom II,[2] one of its members, Edmundo Bordeu, released the mod ZanZan for Doom II: Hell on Earth[3] in 2002.
In early 2002, ACE Team released the only single-player mod created for Quake III Arena named The Dark Conjunction.[4] During 2002, ACE Team was created as a legal company and entity. During this year and 2003, ACE Team worked on a never released demo of a game named Zenozoik, using the Jupiter System formerly based on Lithtech. This demo was the predecessor and starting point for the creation of ACE Team's game Zeno Clash.[5]
In 2004, key members of ACE Team, Andres and Carlos were hired by Wanako Studios and helped develop the company until Vivendi Universal acquired Wanako in early 2007. In mid-2007, Andres, Carlos, Edmundo, and David Caloguerea independently reinstated the company. These four members were the founders of ACE Team as it began operating as a functional independent game studio. On April 21, 2009, ACE Team released its Source engine powered game Zeno Clash. The sequel, Zeno Clash II, was released on April 30, 2013.
On January 19, 2016, ACE Team released its B movie adventure homage The Deadly Tower of Monsters for PlayStation 4 and Steam,[6] announcing they are already at work on an upcoming title.
