History

Action Forms was founded in 1995. In 1997, their debut game Chasm: The Rift was released. Subsequently, the company earned recognition as developer of the first three games in the Carnivores series. The company used their own game engine AtmosFear in every released game since Carnivores. In 2005, Vivisector: Beast Within and «Остров Сокровищ» (Ostrov Sokrovisch)[2] based on the Soviet animated film Treasure Island, which itself was based on the novel of the same name by Robert Louis Stevenson, were released. In 2009, Cryostasis: Sleep of Reason, which uses modified game engine AtmosFear 2.0, (though it was actually the fourth major generation of the engine) was released. Currently Action Forms is dormant.[3][4] Main members of the company created the game development studio Tatem Games, focused on games for iOS platform and revived the Carnivores franchise.[5]

List of games
gollark: Well, if you extrapolate from current trends, probably JS will be gone and replaced with some even weirder thing.
gollark: ++delete communist revolutions
gollark: No communist revolutions!
gollark: Videos are sent uncompressed at "16k³", the marketing name for multi-layer transparent 16k displays which don't actually have 16000 layers.
gollark: 2050: JavaScript development is conducted entirely on Google gPhones™. Hello World imports over 2000 packages, one of which is deprecated per day. Types have now been deprecated and everything is implicitly converted based on a 1000-page spec nobody ever reads. Applications take up about 50GB of space each and use about half of a recent 60GHz carbon-nanotube ARMv18 CPU's processing power. Each browser tab uses 1TB of RAM, more if it's playing videos.
