Super Evil Megacorp built its proprietary E.V.I.L. engine
from the ground up to power Vainglory
and produce console-quality graphics, animations and controls. By constantly
updating and building upon the engine, Super Evil Megacorp has been able to
fully control Vainglory software in
terms of performance and platform capabilities. This affords the studio more
freedom in coding its networking systems than using a traditional
out-of-the-box engine solution. The collaboration with Samsung furthers Super
Evil’s mission by pushing the boundaries of mobile gaming. Banding together
with the latest in technology provides gamers with the opportunity to
experience Vainglory however they want to and on the broadest range of devices
as possible. With Samsung DeX, players of Vainglory can experience the game on
a big screen through Samsung Game Launcher app, and use mouse and keyboard to
control gameplay.

“We’re constantly exploring and pushing the boundaries of
gaming technology,” said Tommy Krul, CTO of Super Evil Megacorp. “With the help
of our own proprietary E.V.I.L. engine technology, we’ve been able to deliver a
smooth yet visceral competitive gaming experience for Vainglory players across the globe. We built Vainglory specifically for mobile devices with unmatched speed and
responsive touch controls, but now, with the help of Samsung DeX, we’re taking
gameplay to the next level for players who gravitate towards traditional PC
gaming, and prefer to play with a mouse and keyboard.”

Samsung and Super Evil Megacorp have been collaborating
closely on development projects since early 2016, when Vainglory became one of the first games to be optimized with
Samsung’s Vulkan graphics API technology. Vainglory
was also named the mobile gaming partner for the Samsung Galaxy Invitational
during E3 2016, hosting top Vainglory
esports teams from across the globe. In March of this year, Samsung announced
the release of the Galaxy S8/S8+ smartphones and Samsung DeX, which connects
the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ to a monitor, keyboard and mouse for a desktop
experience powered by the phone.
