The original team consisted of 6six members, whose first duties were levels and online programming for ''[[Tony Hawk's Underground 2]]'', which was primarily developed by Neversoft. The team grew steadily through steady contracts with [[Activision]], eventually developing the original title, Dungeon Siege: Throne of Agony, on the PSP for [[2K Games]]. The title was built using the company's internally developed [[cross-platform]] engine, Automaton, which is known for its versatility. Automaton was also used to develop Fat Princess: Fistful of Cake and flOw PSP for [[Sony Computer Entertainment]] and Order Up! (Wii) for [[Zoo Games]]. According to the company website, "...SuperVillain Studios was founded on the belief that the key to developing outstanding video games is to combine talented developers with a creative and fulfilling environment." SuperVillain Studios is composed of a group of veteran game developers from companies such as [[Blizzard Entertainment]], [[Neversoft Entertainment]], [[Westwood Studios]], [[Electronic Arts\|EA]], [[Interplay Entertainment\|Interplay]], [[Troika Games\|Troika]], and [[Point of View, Inc.\|Point of View]].
