OpenSpace is a game engine used by various Ubisoft games, including several from the Rayman series.

History

Originally known as Common Programming Architecture (CPA) (French: Architecture Commune Programmation (ACP)), the engine was developed alongside Tonic Trouble by 50 Ubi Soft developers over an 18-month period with a budget of $4 million.[1] The engine was first referred to as OpenSpace in the December 1999 issue of Micromanía Tercera Epoca, and later in Ubi Soft's 2000/2001 financial report.[2][3]
