Common Questions
Q: Are you a company now?
A: Not yet. But members of the team have started working on the project since early 2004. In July 2005, the ParaEngine Tech Studio is formally established in Shenzhen Tech-Innovation International (STI), Since then, we have become a well organized team of software developers and designers. The studio is funded mostly by the Institute. A company will be registered when we had further investment and summoned the required people. [Updated 2007.10: We are now a registered
company called ParaEnine Corporation] |
Q: Is ParaEngine completely developed by your studio?

Q: Is ParaEngine suitable for game development now?
A: Yes, it is suitable for client side game development now. In fact, we are already using it to develop our first game product.
