NGD Studios is a game development company located in Argentina. They started as a three group fusion and were the creators of an acclaimed game for a construction kit toy called Mis Ladrillos, which is similar to Lego toys. Mis Ladrillos translates to something like "My Bricks."

They later created a mobile gaming division. Making games for known brands like Axe and doing development for the multinational GlobalFun. After some successful games, GlobalFun actually acquired the mobile division from NGD Studios.^[1]

They are currently creating a real-time, 3D massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) which emphasizes flexible gameplay and dynamic content. The game is called Regnum Online and it has been in development for more than three years. The game was intended for the Spanish speaking market at the beginning but then improved enough to be targeted for other zones as well.

Right now the game supports Spanish, English and Portuguese with plans to expand to Swedish and other languages.

The game uses a propietary engine called ng3d which was built from scratch with Massive Multiplayer games in mind. It supports a variety of features found in today's engines.

The estimated release date is first quarter 2007.
