Hyderabad-based gaming company FXLabs has announced that it's moving into outsourcing services, adding a new division to support publishers and developers who want to use their development and art teams.

FXLabs will provide outsourcing services for PC and Flash games, and also offer 3D modeling, characters, props and environment models, rigging, texturing and animation.

"The outsourcing division was created to address and support the challenges faced by today's publishers and developers in their internal production capacity," said FXLabs Founder and Chairman Sashi Reddi. "Through this new service offering, we extend our expertise to achieving our partners' goals."

The studio staffs over 100 artists and game programmers, and develops a complete game entirely within the country. FXLabs says it is experienced in using the Unreal and Torque engines, as well as other programming tools.

For the outsourcing department, the company has set up a team of close to 15 artists dedicated to the upcoming outsourced projects.

"Outsourcing will work as a new revenue model for the company and we plan to scale up the team as we start getting the projects. We are in talks with few companies to source the projects," Reddi told AnimationXpress.com.

FXLabs current development slate includes Inferno, a game based on Dante's Inferno, a game based on Dhoom 2, which it calls "the most valuable property in Bollywood," and a game based on Archie Comics.

Talking about the Dhoom 2 game, Reddi said, "We completed the production of the game around five months back and it is ready for release. We are waiting for Yashraj Films to release it in the market."

Recently the company partnered with Indyarocks, an online and mobile social networking portal to create a casual gaming community.

FXLabs also forayed into online gaming with the acquisition of IMT, Inc., a US-based company that owns one of the world's largest online casual games portals, Knibble.com. FXLabs paid USD 3 million in stock to acquire 100 per cent of IMT.
