Shiva3D engine business established in China

Game engine vendor Stonetrip has signed a new distribution partnership in a bid to make its Shiva3D tech a success in China and Taiwain.

The France-based firm will partner with Axis3D, one of the biggest distributors of middleware in China.

China is, like South and Latin America, showing signs that its games industry could blossom in the years ahead.

Axis3D, which has experience of selling goods across China, will be responsible for establishing and running training and support programmes in the region.

Stonetrip CEO Philip Belhassen said Axis3D “has unparalleled expertise and in-depth knowledge of the Chinese market, and we are highly honoured to be working with them”.

He added: “Together we can provide the tools and support which will make ShiVa3D the essential cross-platform game engine for the Chinese development community.”
