Arc System Works
From Game Developer Research Institute
Started in May 1988 and headed by Minoru Kidooka (木戸岡稔) [1], Arc (アーク) was originally primarily a contract developer. At some point, it became Arc System Works (アークシステムワークス) and got into original games. Today, the company is known mostly for the Guilty Gear series.
Early Arc staff left and started Minato Giken.
Not to be confused with the defunct British development house Arc Developments.
