A good day…
16th September 2007
Some days turn out very differently to how you expected. I heard on Friday evening that Havok, the company I co-founded with Hugh Reynolds in 1998, had been acquired by Intel. The details have not been disclosed, but the acquisition has been announced by Intel here. The acquisition by Intel gives Havok the opportunity to take game physics and animation to the next level, leveraging Intel's scale and ambitions and Havok's market position and technology, and is a great move by both companies (but I guess I would say that!). Certainly in talking to current Havok employees there is tremendous support and excitement about the move and great optimism for what can be achieved… Well done to everyone involved.
BTW - the logo frankensteinization is my own efforts and is not endorsed by Havok or Intel!
