The engine was originally developed for ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' and was originally planned to be open-source and available to the public. However as the project grew in complexity it was decided against it and the engine remained closed source.

In an interview with IGN in April 2019<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9ewXj4RO5A&feature=youtu.be&t=2650</ref> Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot explains why the framework isn't being used as much anymore, stating the "tools were difficult to use".
