KingsIsle Entertainment, a video game developer based in Austin and Dallas, Texas, launched in February 2005. Perhaps the best known of the company's recruits are Tom Hall, co-founder of id Software and Ion Storm and J. Todd Coleman, co-founder of Wolfpack Studios. Coleman has since left KingsIsle Entertainment. The business' primary focus is creating family online games.
KingsIsle’s kid safe games have been honored with awards from the National Parenting Publication, Beckett Massive Online Gamer Magazine, Massively.com and MMORPG.com.[citation needed]
To date, KingsIsle has produced two online games, Wizard101, a card-battling MMO featuring wizards in a fantasy world, and the recently released Pirate101, which takes place within the same universe as Wizard101. KingsIsle has also produced KIFreeGames (a games website with a few Wizard101 games) and Wizardblox (an app for the iPhone).
