NetDevil was founded in 1997 in Louisville, CO as an independently owned and operated game development company dedicated to the construction of massively multiplayer universes. NetDevil is committed to creating immersive, interactive virtual worlds in unique settings outside the typical fantasy genre. NetDevil has steadily grown from 3 part-timers to over 30 full time developers, with development led by Scott Brown, Peter Grundy, and Ryan Seabury.
NetDevil was chosen as a name because of our obsession with cool scary things that live in the deep dark waters of the world. All of the company's principals are certified SCUBA divers, including one certified dive master. We love exploring the mysteries of strange worlds, different from the everyday world we are used to... a passion we carry into our game world designs
NetDevil's first title, Jumpgate, broke ground in the MMO space for both action gameplay and a space combat setting. Built by a development team of less than 6 people, Jumpgate was well received by the gaming press at its launch in 2001. NetDevil is currently maintaining Jumpgate in North America, and in Europe through its partner Mightygames.
NetDevil is hard at work developing its sophomore title, Auto Assault, in conjunction with publishing partner NCsoft, a worldwide leader in online games. Auto Assault offers a post-apocalyptic game world, combining fast action gameplay with role-playing elements, using vehicular combat for a different "spin" on MMO gaming. With Auto Assault, NetDevil is aiming to raise the bar in MMOGs for gameplay, graphics, and interactivity, bringing the level of quality expected in traditional offline titles to the online space.
Take out your road rage safely with Auto Assault -- fast-paced vehicular combat, high-tech, futuristic weaponry, and hundreds of intense skills provide a unique departure from traditional MMORPGs. Hop in your own customized cars, semis, and motorcycles and prepare to fight the mutated creatures and bandits of Auto Assault's post-apocalyptic world. Battle other players both in arenas and in epic race vs. race wars for control of the regions in a devastated Earth. Auto Assault uses the power of the Havok physics engine to let you make insane jumps, send obstacles flying and even blast bridges, buildings, fences and trees with your car-mounted rockets. Anything you can hit, you can destroy!
