Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Multiple issues
Шаблон:Infobox company Akella (Шаблон:Lang-ru) was a Russian software company specializing in the development, publishing and distribution of video games and multimedia products. The founders of Akella met in 1993 and decided to start a company together, and in 1995 formed Akella. The company comprised five in-house development teams, a publishing house, a distribution center, a localization team and a quality assurance department; in total, 250 people were employed by Akella. There were several sub-brands owned by Akella, i.e. Macho Studios that developed erotic games and published Japanese hentai dating sims.[1][2]
The company is named after a Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book character, Akela the wolf, and its logo is a wolf.
Defunct status
During 2012 the company was amid multiple lawsuits totaling ₽200,000,000[3] (roughly $6,000,000), that combined with the significant developmental difficulties and commercial failings of Postal III pushed Akella to the verge of bankruptcy. As a result, the company, while technically still existing, has effectively ceased operations since 2012.[4]
