Tasman Studios was founded in 1999 with the goal of developing interactive entertainment on new and non-
traditional gaming platforms.
After successfully operating as consultants and contract developers for several game projects (specializing in
the field of distributed multiplayer game development) Tasman moved on to its own projects.

Cybots - the massively multiplayer online game - is set in a future where
combat is carried out by Cybernetic Battle Droids (known as Cybots).
Players assume the role of Cybot "Controller" managing all aspects of their
robotic battle squads.
Using a set amount of starting game cash, Controllers purchase and then
configure their bots using six different chassis, and more than two hundred
different weapons, power reactors, shield generators and support modules.
When squads are ready for battle, Controllers can lead them into various
adventure Outlands; compete in one of the many player vs player battle
arenas for cash prizes; or work together in Clans battling for control of
mining bases. Other features include:
• Three huge Outlands each containing hundreds of areas to explore
• Real time chat through Tasman's DirectChat system
• Scaled server infrastructure supporting more than 1,000
simultaneous players
• More than 400 enemies from five unique races
• A strong player base of more than 25,000
Cybots is an online game played over set periods by thousands of
competing Controllers in a fully persistent world. And best of all the game
only requires a basic HTML/Web browser so it can be played from just
about anywhere on just about any hardware.
