'''Loki Software, Inc.'''（有時也叫做'''Loki Games'''或'''Loki Entertainment Software'''）是一家位於[[美國]][[加利福尼亞州]][[塔斯廷]]的軟件公司。它致力於把一些電腦遊戲從[[Microsoft Windows]]平台移植到[[Linux]]平台上。它的名字得於[[北歐神話]]中的[[洛基]]。<ref>[http://www.linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=1999-04-12-001-05-NW-LF Loki Entertainment Software -- When's the IPO?] {{Wayback|url=http://www.linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=1999-04-12-001-05-NW-LF |date=20120309114102 }} Linux Today, April 12, 1999</ref>

== 歷史 ==

Loki 軟件是由Scott Draeker創建於1998年11月9日。Scott Draeker是一名律師，當他認識了Linux之後開始感興趣將其他操作系統上的游戲移植到這個系統，因爲他是一名軟體許可證律師。那一年的12月，Loki獲得了移植Activision公司即將推出的戰略遊戲''Civilization: Call to Power''的權利。這個產品在1999年5月出售，成為了Loki的第一個產品<ref>[http://www.linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=1999-05-07-005-05-NW Civilization: Call to Power for Linux Ships] {{Wayback|url=http://www.linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=1999-05-07-005-05-NW |date=20120309114439 }} Linux Today, May 7, 1999</ref>。從此以後，他們獲得了更多移植其他遊戲的合同，如Myth II: Soulblighter、Railroad Tycoon II和Eric's Ultimate Solitaire等游戏。<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20001203034800/http://www.idg.net/idgns/1999/05/18/LokiReleasesThreeMoreGamesFor.shtml Loki releases three more games for Linux] IDG News Service, May 18, 1999</ref>在這兩年中，公司移植了更多遊戲到Linux。<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20010820024435/http://www.linuxgames.com/articles/lokiretro/ Loki Retrospective] [[LinuxGames]], August 13, 2001</ref>

虽然他們在移植遊戲上曾经獲得了成功，但是最終該公司最后仍因財務危機而倒閉<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.linuxandmain.com/features/lokistory.html |title=Loki: A promising plan gone terribly wrong |accessdate=2002-04-18 |archive-date=2002-04-18 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20020418225227/http://www.linuxandmain.com/features/lokistory.html |dead-url=no }}</ref>。该公司在2001年8月聲明破產保護，并最終在2002年1月解散。<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.icculus.org/news/news.php?id=209 |title=存档副本 |accessdate=2010-07-02 |archive-date=2021-01-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210125224047/http://www.icculus.org/news/news.php?id=209 |dead-url=no }}</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20020202221402/http://www.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=02%2F01%2F24%2F2118235 Loki's Draeker: If I had to do it over, I'd create Linux native games] NewsForge, January 24, 2002</ref>

尽管Loki 軟體公司在商業上失敗了，但被認為是現代Linux遊戲工業之父。Loki開發了數個[[自由軟體]]工具，如Loki安裝程式（也叫Loki Setup）。该公司还支援了Simple DirectMedia Layer的開發，同时發起了[[OpenAL]]音頻庫項目（現在由[[創新科技]]和[[蘋果公司]]運行），被讚譽為Linux遊戲開發之基石。

Loki軟體公司與John R所著書籍[https://web.archive.org/web/20090720071431/http://www.nostarch.com/frameset.php?startat=plg Programming Linux Games]（[https://web.archive.org/web/20030210191202/http://www.overcode.net/~overcode/writing/plg/ 在互聯網檔案館查看]）被認為是Simple Direct Media Layer的必讀教程之一。Loki的很多自由軟體依然活躍並被繼續開發，其开发通常是由該公司的前僱員进行，前僱員中有很多人进入了其他電腦遊戲或Linux公司任职。

Loki也為許多還為Linux和遊戲工業工作的人物提供了一個開始。Ryan C. Gordon（也被叫做Icculus），是一名Loki的前僱員，公司倒閉後移植很多商業遊戲到Linux和Mac OS X 平台。Mike Philips在Loki倒閉後幫助發起了Linux Game Publishing。<ref>[http://www.linuxhardware.org/article.php?story=03/06/16/1819216 Interview with LGP's Mike Phillips] {{Wayback|url=http://www.linuxhardware.org/article.php?story=03%2F06%2F16%2F1819216 |date=20160303181252 }} LinuxHardware.org, June 16, 2003</ref>Nicholas Vining 想繼續移植遊戲，其現在在[https://web.archive.org/web/20091029035648/http://www.gaslampgames.com/index.php Gaslamp Games]是首席程式設計師。Sam Lantinga之後也加入了[[暴雪娛樂]]。

儘管從Loki倒閉之後很多Loki移植的遊戲被停止支援，Linux Game Publishing設法pick up the rights to MindRover和提供一些支援和Linux遊戲移植版本的更新。[[id Software]] 重新開始對Quake III Arena Linux版本釋出的支援<ref>[http://linux.sys-con.com/node/32874 Quake 3 Arena takes Linux by force] {{Wayback|url=http://linux.sys-con.com/node/32874 |date=20181022232458 }} LinuxWorld, December 3, 2001</ref>，僱傭Timothee Besset來維護它；他想以後負責移植一些id的產品到Linux。<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20040924113843/http://www.linuxgames.com/?dataloc=articles%2Fttimo%2F Interview with id Software's Timothee Besset] [[LinuxGames]], August 22, 2004</ref>Running with Scissors仍然在網站上出售原始Loki移植的Postal 。<ref>[http://store03.prostores.com/servlet/runningwithscissors/the-23/POSTAL-cln--Classic-and-Uncut/Detail POSTAL: Classic and Uncut LINUX Download] {{Wayback|url=http://store03.prostores.com/servlet/runningwithscissors/the-23/POSTAL-cln--Classic-and-Uncut/Detail |date=20100513071358 }} Running with Scissors Store</ref><ref>[http://store03.prostores.com/servlet/runningwithscissors/the-17/POSTAL-Fudge-Pack/Detail POSTAL Fudge Pack] {{Wayback|url=http://store03.prostores.com/servlet/runningwithscissors/the-17/POSTAL-Fudge-Pack/Detail |date=20100816162927 }} Running with Scissors Store</ref><ref>[http://store03.prostores.com/servlet/runningwithscissors/the-4/POSTAL-10th-Anniversary-Collector's/Detail POSTAL 10th Anniversary Collector's Edition] {{Wayback|url=http://store03.prostores.com/servlet/runningwithscissors/the-4/POSTAL-10th-Anniversary-Collector's/Detail |date=20101017190108 }} Running with Scissors Store</ref>軟體承包人Frank C.
