Vicious Cycle Software is a computer game development company based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States.
Vicious Cycle was founded in 2000 by Eric Peterson and Wayne Harvey after layoffs at the local Microprose development studio forced several talented game developers into finding other work. Vicious Cycle has released several titles for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and GameCube consoles. Future titles may also include the PC platform.
In 2005, Vicious Cycle announced the opening of their Monkey Bar Games division. Monkey Bar Games is focused on providing mass-market games to gamers of all ages. Thus far, Monkey Bar Games has released video games incorporating licensed characters from Dora the Explorer and Curious George. There is also a game currently in production slated for release in late 2006 to coincide with the release of the Flushed Away feature film.
Also in 2005, Vicious Cycle announced the release of their Vicious Engine game engine. The Vicious Engine is a complete game development middleware solution for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, PSP, and PC. The Vicious Engine is one of the first game engines to offer full support of the PSP platform.
