The “Kudos Series” of posts will highlight and showcase the work of a local company creating some innovating products that we can all be proud of.
If you’re a small company/entreprenuer but think you have a great product / achievement that you want us to be proud of, I want to give it kudos! Email me and tell me all about it.
We start this series with a product that has been seeing quite a bit of praise, and it deserves nothing less. It is the Trango Interactive’s Helios Game Engine!
I met with Trivor Software people (who is the parent company) almost two years ago when they were just planning this game division.
Game Engines are hard — real-time per-pixel shading while keeping your system requirements in check is a challenge. But it is great to see that in just two years, they have led a team of 30-40 to not only roll out two major releases of the engine, but have also been recognized by Red Herring magazine among Asia’s top 100 companies.
Great Job Trango.

Osama,
Thanks for the mention some time back. Just wanted to correct some facts and update you.
Trivor had 40 people at that time but Trango only had 2-3 developers working on our engine and just that small team pulled off both releases of Helios 1.0 and 2.0. We’re 21 full time people right now and only 3 of them are devs, the rest are artists (not going to list our free lance contractor pool here).
Our engine thread is a bit slow right now as we are looking for partners for console portability and are not working on any game demo of our own on V 2.0. Unfortunately, we were unable to find sponsors for our first local game title and that’s in hibernation for now. On the dev side, we’ve also developed a LUA debugger that’s the best tool in it’s class right now.
Our current focus as a studio is on international game and CG projects but our own game demos are also in the works.
Hope that clarifies some of the issues.
