## History

Black Element Software was founded in 2000 by the members of Insanity, known for their games Testament and Testament II.[1] They released their first game, Shade, on 1 October 2004. In 2005, they joined with Bohemia Interactive Studio and Altar Games to form IDEA Games, which functioned as a publisher and consultant for several independent developers.[2]

On 30 September 2010, Black Element Software was acquired by fellow IDEA Games member Bohemia Interactive.[3] Despite this acquisition, Bohemia Interactive promised that the acquired companies, including Black Element Software, would continue to operate individually.[4] Since acquisition, Black Element Software has been credited as a subsidiary of Bohemia Interactive Studio.[5]

As of 2014, Black Element Software now provides 3D modeling and related services for other game developers.[6]
