Guild Software is a small independent computer game developer located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (USA) founded in 1998. Guild Software is best known for creating Vendetta Online,[1][2][3][4] a first-person MMORPG that uses their in-house NAOS[5] game engine. In 2009, the studio was voted a Reader's Choice Award for Favorite Company by MMOsite.com.[6]
In 2013, Guild Software's Vendetta Online was widely reported as the first MMORPG to support the Oculus Rift,[7][8] making it potentially the first persistent online world with native support for a consumer Virtual reality headset.
Beyond game development, the company also created and maintains the free and popular[9] Android app Barometer HD, allowing simple measurement and graphing of barometric pressure on devices equipped with pressure sensors.[10]
