Mystic Game Development

"For our game, My Fitness Coach, we needed to include a large amount of motion capture and environmental animations, each exported from different 3D packages, in addition to incorporating real-time lip synching.

For these reasons we chose Mystic Game Development’s EMotion FX, and MysticGD has been a great partner to work with.

They gave us great support throughout our project, working closely with us to adapt their engine for the Wii platform."

Todd Kelley, Lead of Art & Animation, Ubisoft, Spain

"EMotion FX has given us the freedom to concentrate on giving the artists what they want in animation logic, while maintaining low memory usage and transparent multi-threaded support for both PC and consoles. The developer support is timely, and thorough."

Matt Shaw, Chief Technology Officer, EA Mythic, U.S.A.


"You can’t ask for more from a technology partner than to have a solid product, friendly staff, and quick turnarounds on new features and bugfixes. In this regard, it’s been a pleasure working with MysticGD. WAR would not have been the success it has (in development and retail) without a clean pipeline, and the ability to push as many unique characters around efficiently in mass RvR. We look forward to continuing our close relationship with them over the coming years as we both continue to refine our respective products."

Jeremy Dale, Lead Animator, EA Mythic, U.S.A.

"We look forward to adding the EMotion FX 2 Engine to our games. This great piece of technology will both save time and add features to our games that will make them even better."

Mark Jacobs, President, Mythic Entertainment Inc, Virginia

"Using EMotion FX as the framework for our model and animation system on our current project has allowed our programming team to focus on the engine details needed to make our game unique.

EMotion FX has eliminated the need to create custom animation and model systems for our game. Their support team has been one of the most responsive 3rd parties we've worked with -- their rapid assistance and ready-made tools for our art pipeline have made all aspects of our development go very smoothly."

Chris Beatrice, President, Tilted Mill Entertainment, U.S.A.

"EMotion FX has given us the ability to have myriad distinct player character models while allowing us to share most of the mesh assets and animations.

I have found the API easy to integrate, well written, and it supports the variety of complex features we needed for our character and animation systems. These systems include asset sharing through retargeting and shrink-wrapping, customization, look-at controllers, and motion blending/mixing.

I recommend EMotion FX to developers that are looking for a total character solution."

Kevin McPherson, Senior Programmer, Sony Online Entertainment, U.S.A.

"EMotion FX gives us all the features we need to make life like characters, the clean api is well documented and easy to integrate. EMotion FX powers our engine with a lot of nice features like body parts, facial animation, physics and lookat support."

Philipp Krause, Piranha Bytes, Germany

"Our games are highly character-driven, so we were in need of a technology with powerful features to create true-to-live character motion and facial expression. With EMotion FX, we get an engine which makes this available, together with a very straight OOP-Interface and great support."

Tobias Schachte, Development Director, House of Tales, Germany

"EMotion FX was one of the key technologies we used to create Granado Espada.

The API is designed in a practical and clean way. The documentation explains advanced problems in an easy and understandable way and the support team has always helped us instantly.

We have been very happy with EMotion FX and have chosen it again for our next title."

Hak Kyu Kim, CEO, IMC Games, South Korea

"It was a pleasure to use EMotion FX for Gothic 3 Forsaken Gods. The support from MysticGD was great and despite using an older version of EMotion FX all support enquires were answered quickly.

We definitely look forward to working with MysticGD in the future and to use EMotionFX on our next batch of games."

Sangam Gupta, CEO, Trine Game Studios, India

"Having opened Special Force service on the web, we proceeded to update its engine. With the help of EMotion FX, which has a simple interface and a neat structure, we could finish an ‘Special Force’ engine update on schedule and build a fast and effective animation system. Eventually, EMotion FX has made a major contribution to an increase in our sales.

As far as I am concerned, EMotion FX is the most effective and the most flexible character engine which provides programmers and graphic designers with a complete development environment.

As I believe that EMotion FX is the best choice, I will not hesitate for a moment to recommend EMotion FX to those who are eager to find an excellent character engine. ( I am pretty sure every programmer who has ever used EMotion FX will agree with me. )

I must thank John and Benjamin, decent and talented developers of EMotion FX, for giving us the opportunity of using EMotion FX and for trusting in us."

Ko Seong-Won, Team Manager, Dragonfly, South Korea



"First of all, EMotion FX provides a wide range of plug-in. Our data modeled on MAX was fully exported through EMotion FX plug-in and we were totally satisfied with what EMotion FX output. EMotion FX also responded very well to our queries, which enabled us to calculate exactly how much time the task will take. It is EMotion FX that made me feel comfortable than ever and enjoy developing a new game.

EMotion Studio is a brilliant tool that has never failed in checking what we have created. As a graphic designer, I will recommend EMotion FX to all my colleagues without the slightest hesitation. If there is any developer who can hardly decide which engine to choose, I will advise him/her to select EMotion FX. EMotion FX may help all game developers realize whatever they imagined."

Jeong Seong-Hwa, Lead Graphic Designer, Dragonfly, South Korea
