Splash Damage is an independently owned British video game developer that specializes in multiplayer first-person shooter games. The studio is best known as the creator of the ''Enemy Territory'' franchise for id Software. ==History== Splash Damage was formed in May 2001 by the creators of high-profile, free mods, such as ''Quake 3 Fortress''. The studio began life working with Now TV and Gamer.tv, providing both custom maps and an in-game television production solution. Splash Damage staff also worked to produce and present over 150 TV shows based on Quake III Arena Capture the Flag. In March 2002, Splash Damage partnered with Games Domain to produce a number of multiplayer maps for their online gaming service. One of these was a map for id Software's ''Return to Castle Wolfenstein'' based on Operation Market Garden; this map was hugely successful online and instantly became the most played third-party map for the game. Following Market Garden's success, Activision and id Software asked Splash Damage to produce three additional multiplayer maps for the ''Return to Castle Wolfenstein Game of the Year Edition''. The same year, Splash Damage partnered with the two companies to develop ''Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory'', a stand-alone expansion based on ''Return to Castle Wolfenstein''. The Windows version of ''Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory'' was released online for free on 29 May 2003, with Linux and Mac versions following later. ''Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory'' won several Game of the Year and Editor's Choice awards and remains one of the most popular online first-person shooter titles. In June 2003 and once again working with id Software, Splash Damage created all the maps for ''Doom 3s multiplayer mode and at the same time began pre-production on ''Enemy Territory: Quake Wars'', a follow-up to ''Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory'' using a heavily modified version of the id Tech 4 engine and set in the ''QUAKE'' universe. ''Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars'' shipped on 28 September 2007, and has won dozens of awards to date, including several Game of the Year awards and over 25 Editor's Choice awards. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Splash Damage」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
