Haiku Interactive

Creator of the hot new Xbox 360 title Crate Expectations, Haiku Interactive's team of three developed the game in two short months thanks in part to Synapse Gaming's SunBurn lighting and rendering engine.

"If we tried to do it all ourselves we'd still be developing now. SunBurn just works... the importers are excellent and the lighting and material editor is first rate" - Alex Waterston, Co-Founder of Haiku Interactive
