2002
VENOM Software released Lone Wolf 2, an action game developed entirely by a single creator in spare time, using the in-house software 3D engine VGFX.
Game programming, GUI, special effects and animations were all proudly handcrafted by the developer—proof that one person’s passion can almost stack up to an army of professionals. Of course, when compared to commercial games crafted by hundreds of developers and artists, this is more like a one-man band rocking out than a full symphony orchestra.
