Roxor Games

Roxor Games

Founded in 2002, Roxor Games, Inc. is a 25-person company based in Austin, Texas that develops video game software for the arcade and home markets. Roxor works with developers of open source software to deploy games on a Linux-based hardware platform in the arcade and on multiple home consoles. Although their most well known product, "In The Groove", is proprietary software, the developers regularly contribute code back to the open source project StepMania upon which "In The Groove" is based.

Products

Their first product was an arcade redemption version of Tux Racer, where tickets are dispensed based on how well the player collects fish while guiding Tux (the Linux penguin mascot) down one of four snow-covered hills. The upcoming sequel, Tux 2, featuring new characters and levels, is currently in market testing.

Their second product was "In The Groove", a series of games in the arcade dance game genre. Following the well-established practice of converting arcade systems via kits, Version 1.0 of In The Groove was released as an upgrade kit for existing arcade dance cabinets. Roxor Games then developed a PlayStation 2 version of In The Groove, which was the first game ever published by RedOctane in June 2005. In The Groove: PC/Mac was released in July 2006.

"" was released in June 2005 both as an upgrade kit and in a dedicated cabinet manufactured by Andamiro (hence the addition of the "Pump It Up" name). In The Groove 2 debuted on the arcade earnings chart of Replay Magazine in September 2005, and remained in the top 15 for over 23 months. It hit #1 in February 2006.

Roxor's latest product is a driving game titled "Road Rebel". It is a multiplayer car combat game featuring support for a wide variety of driving cabinets and network play. Road Rebel will be offered as both an upgrade kit and a dedicated cabinet. It is currently on market test with Namco's arcade division.
