Vicious Cycle Aims to Aid Indy Developers

Vicious Cycle Software announced a new web site and a new program called The Vicious Engine Rising Stars Program, designed to help independent developers create games using the cross-platform Vicious Engine.

The Vicious Engine includes a graphics engine, a built in collision and physics solution, scripting, in-game debugging, and integrated asset management. It can be used to make games for PlayStation 2, Xbox, PSP and Windows.

Aspiring developers will get valuable technical support and feedback on their projects, an "inside track" to getting published if their demo is approved, and six months of access to the Vicious Engine build.
