ACE Team is an independent entertainment software developer based in Santiago, Chile. ACE Team has licensed the Source engine to develop and distribute its debut game Zeno Clash. Most of the members of the team have experience working on PC games, the Xbox Live Arcade platform and game modifications for several titles.[1]

History

ACE Team was created as a game modification (or mod) development group and its name comes from the initials of its founders; brothers Andres Bordeu, Carlos Bordeu, and Edmundo Bordeu.

In 1999, after Bordeu created the mod ZanZan for Doom II.,[2] ACE Team released its first official mod Batman DOOM for Doom II.[3]

In early 2002, ACE Team released the only single-player mod created for Quake III named The Dark Conjunction.[4] During 2002, ACE Team was created as a legal company and entity. During this year and 2003, ACE Team worked on a never released demo of a game named Zenozoik, using the Jupiter System formerly based on Lithtech. This demo was the predecessor and starting point for the creation of ACE Team's game Zeno Clash.[5]

In 2004, key members of ACE Team, Andres and Carlos were hired by Wanako Studios and helped develop the company until Vivendi Universal acquired Wanako in early 2007.

In mid-2007, Andres, Carlos, Edmundo, and David Caloguerea independently reinstated the company. These four members were the founders of ACE Team as it began operating as a functional independent game studio.

On April 21, 2009, ACE Team released its Source engine powered game Zeno Clash. On May 19, 2009, ACE Team announced Zeno Clash II, a sequel, which was released on April 30, 2013.
