Trendy Entertainment

Trendy Entertainment was a Gainesville, Florida video game studio best known for the Dungeon Defenders tower-defense action-RPG franchise. Insight Venture Partners acquired the studio in 2012 for ~$18.2M and exited in 2019 when founder Augi Lye led an employee buyback and rebranded the company as Chromatic Games (chromatic.games). The only developer-facing surface the studio ever shipped is the Dungeon Defenders Development Kit — an Unreal Engine 3 game-mod SDK distributed as free Steam DLC — not a public web/HTTP API. Enrichment pass found no OpenAPI, REST API, developer portal, or client SDK registries: this is a games company with no programmable API surface, so most scored artifact types are N/A rather than missing.

Trendy Entertainment is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Gaming, Video Games, Game Studio, and Tower Defense.
