Vicious Cycle

Background
Vicious Cycle was an American game developer based in Morrisville, North Carolina. It was founded in 2000 by Eric Peterson, Dave Ellis and Wayne Harvey after being laid off from MicroProse. In 2005, the company established Monkey Bar Games as a family entertainment division specialized on licensed kids' properties; the same year, they also released the Vicious Engine, which was one of the the first cross-platform game engines, and the first to offer full support for PSP and Wii. In 2007, the company was acquired by Japanese publisher D3 Inc, making it a subsidiary of Bandai Namco Holdings in 2009. By the end of 2015, several rounds of layoffs reduced the studio to a skeleton crew, and caused its closedown in January 2016.
