History
ACE Team was founded by brothers Andres, Carlos and Edmundo Bordeu in either 1998 or 1999.
By 2003, all development on Zenozoik was halted as Andres and Carlos were hired by local game developer
Wanako Games.[2][4] During their time at Wanako Games, they met their soon-to-be company partner, David Caloguerea, and contributed to several of the studio's games, including Assault Heroes.[1][4] However, most games developed at Wanako Games were casual games, so in 2007, Andres, Carlos and Caloguerea left Wanako Games to re-instantiate ACE Team.[2][4] Development on Zenozoik continued and was moved over to the id Tech 4 engine, then to Source.[1][7] By recommendation from Valve, the developers of Source, Zenozoik was retitled Zeno Clash.[1] The original Zenozoik prototype was scrapped and never released, with Zeno Clash was handled as a spiritual successor to that prototype.[1] Leading up to the release of Zeno Clash, ACE Team released the browser game The Malstrums Mansion on April Fools' Day, 2009.[8] Zeno Clash was first released on 21 April 2009, self-published by ACE Team for Microsoft Windows.[9] A sequel, Zeno Clash 2, was announced shortly thereafter.[10]
Retail releases of Zeno Clash came by hand of publishers
Atlus USA to release an Xbox 360 port of the game with additional features, titled Zeno Clash: Ultimate Edition, in 2010.[13] ACE Team continued working with Atlus USA for their next game; originally referred to internally as Boulder, Atlus USA christened that game Rock of Ages and released it 2011.[2]
