History

Turn 10 Studios was established in 2001 by Microsoft, under its Microsoft Game Studios division, to develop a series of racing games, which later became known as Forza.[2][3] At the time of the studio's establishment, most staff had experience in publishing games, such as Project Gotham Racing and Golf 4.0, but had not been involved in game development.[2] In October 2014, the studio employed approximately 100 full-time staff, as well as between 100 and 200 contract workers.[2]

Technology

Turn 10 develops and uses a proprietary 3D modelling software called Fuel that allows multiple artists to work on the same model, primarily those for cars and racing tracks, simultaneously.[2]

gollark: Really, anything blueish would work.
gollark: As I said, change the color scheme if you must.
gollark: Yes, so do I.
gollark: I would, if possible, prefer an xenowyrm - changing the color scheme is fine.
gollark: There might be other oddly shaped ones which *do* have 12 identical faces though.
