''[[Cobalt]]'' currently has multiple modding APIs using the [[wikipedia:Lua_(programming_language)|Lua]] programming language:
* [[Official_Cobalt_Modding_API|The official modding API]]
* [[Alloy_Cobalt_Modding_API|Alloy]] (Unofficial mod loader)
The official API is simpler and relatively limited in its scope, but allows sharing mods on the [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/about/?appid=357340 Steam Workshop].

__TOC__

== History ==

=== Founding and Early Years ===
In 2002, as ''[[Whispers in Akarra]]'' was being developed by [[Jens "jeb" Bergensten|Jens]], [[Daniel "thewreck" Brynolf|Daniel]] and [[Pontus "Kinten" Hammarberg|Pontus]] also began to contribute to the project with artwork,<ref>[http://www.oxeyegames.com/ten-years/ Bergensten, J. (2012, April 28). ''Ten Years!'' Oxeye Game Studio. http://www.oxeyegames.com/ten-years/]</ref> and Oxeye Game Studio was founded the following July with the intent of remaking ''[[Whispers in Akarra]]'' in 3D,<ref name=":3" /> though ultimately becoming a standalone entity. In 2005, ''[[Strategist]]'' was published as Oxeye's first game using a modified version of the [[wikipedia:Irrlicht_Engine|Irrlicht Engine]] (called ''Daisy'')<ref name=":2" /> while ''[[Dawn of Daria]]'' (the spiritual successor to ''[[Whispers in Akarra]]'')<ref>''Dawn of Daria FAQ''. Dawn of Daria. (2006a). https://web.archive.org/web/20061125052310/http://www.dawnofdaria.com/index.php?page=5</ref> was still being developed. In 2006, the rights to ''[[Whispers in Akarra]]'' were sold, though development on ''[[Dawn of Daria]]'' continued.<ref name=":3" />

=== The ''Harvest: Massive Encounter'' Era ===
In the spring of 2007, Oxeye managed to move into its first dedicated office area at [https://www.venturelab.lu.se/ VentureLab] in Lund, hosted by Lund University. The property was won after the team pitched "a minigame arcade platform", though first creating ''[[Strategist]]''.<ref name=":7" /> That May, Oxeye presented an open beta of ''[[Harvest: Massive Encounter]]'', at the Swedish Game Awards, a student competition,<ref name=":7" /> in which it earned second place in the Best PC Game category,<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20071222075509/http://gameawards.se/news/harvest-open-beta Steve. (2007, December 19). ''Harvest open beta''. Swedish Game Awards. https://web.archive.org/web/20071222075509/http://gameawards.se/news/harvest-open-beta]</ref> and that October, [[Daniel "thewreck" Brynolf|Daniel]] and [[Pontus "Kinten" Hammarberg|Pontus]] developed ''[[Spacefest]]'' in Multimedia Fusion live for Spelfest, which was being held in Malmö.<ref name=":7" /> In February of 2008,<ref>http://www.oxeyegames.com/oxeye-office-level-up/</ref> the lease at VentureLab expired and the studio was moved to the Akademiska Hus, also in Lund.<ref name=":7" /> On the 5th of March, coinciding with [[Pontus "Kinten" Hammarberg|Pontus]]' birthday, ''[[Harvest: Massive Encounter]]'' was officially released to the public.<ref>http://www.oxeyegames.com/birthdays-and-postcards/</ref>
[[File:Harvestfika.JPG|alt=Alexander, Daniel, Jens, and Jonas all facing the camera and seated around a table with a cake shaped like the D-70 enemy from Harvest: Massive Encounter.|thumb|207x207px|Via Jens on the ''Project Oxeye Wiki'' Discord. Original caption: ''In March 2008 we released Harvest and had a small "release fika" with an alien-shaped cake. Pictured is Jens Bergensten, Alexander Persson, Jonas Johnsson, and Daniel Brynolf (in front).'']]
In order to add modding support to ''[[Harvest: Massive Encounter|Harvest]]'', the ''Daisy'' engine was modified to use the [[wikipedia:Lua_(programming_language)|Lua]] programming language, becoming ''[[DaisyMoon]]'' in the process.<ref name=":2" /> This would become Oxeye's engine of choice, as every subsequent game would be developed in it, primarily games for game jams, such as ''[[Fillauth]]'' and ''[[House Globe]]''. At some point between late 2008<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20080929152133/http://www.oxeyegames.com/strategist/download-strategist/</ref> and early 2009,<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20090803184601/http://www.oxeyegames.com/strategist/download-strategist</ref> the rights to ''[[Strategist]]'' were sold. According to [[Pontus "Kinten" Hammarberg|Pontus]], it's likely the new owners went defunct.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/oxeyegames/comments/6zocqr/the_strategist_what_happened/dqfakb5/</ref> Also in 2009, ''[[Dawn of Daria]]'' was cancelled<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20111112131624/http://www.dawnofdaria.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2720 Bergensten, J. (2009, September 26). ''Daria No Longer an Oxeye Project''. Dawn of Daria. https://web.archive.org/web/20111112131624/http://www.dawnofdaria.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2720]</ref> due to lack of time.<ref>http://www.oxeyegames.com/dawn-of-daria-discontinued/</ref>

=== The ''Cobalt'' Era ===
In August 2009, work began on a new project (known then as ''Project B'') based on a prototype [[Daniel "thewreck" Brynolf|Daniel]] had made in 2001 known as ''Blueface''.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idEyxi9vbWU YouTube. (2010). ''Project B Presentation at No More Sweden 1/3''. ''YouTube''. Retrieved December 4, 2023, from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idEyxi9vbWU.]</ref> ''Project B'' was later renamed ''[[Cobalt]]'',<ref>[http://www.oxeyegames.com/announcing-cobalt/ Hammarberg, P. (2010, October 8). ''Announcing Cobalt!'' Oxeye Game Studio. http://www.oxeyegames.com/announcing-cobalt/]</ref> and the first public Alpha build was released on 16 December 2011.<ref>http://www.oxeyegames.com/now-we-develop-with-you/</ref> After 7 years of development, ''[[Cobalt]]'' was fully released on 2 February 2016.<ref name=":4" /> A simplified spinoff, ''[[Cobalt WASD]]'', was released the following year.<ref name=":5" /><ref name=":6" />

At present (April 2024), Oxeye Game Studio is not developing any new games.
