Background

SEK is an abbreviation for "Spieleentwicklungskombinat". Founded in 1998 by Carolin Batke, Thomas Langhanki, Ingo Neumann and Carsten Orthbrandt, it was a German developer, with the 30 percent holding by Sunflowers. After the release of ParaWorld, the financial loss hit the company and made it dissolve in 2007.
