Virtway

Virtway is a game development studio located in Oviedo, Spain. It was founded in 1999 as a general IT consulting firm. In 2006 Virtway spun off from its parent company to focus on 3D development and video games as an independent branch of the Indigo Group holding.
Overview
The main focus of the company has been developing a simulation system to allows learning through gaming, called VTS (Virtual Training System). The platform was presented at the 2008 conference in partnership with Robb Lindgren from Stanford University. The company's products are applied to several areas of training, such as Firefighting and Iron/Steel Industry.
Virtway has collaborated through the Índigo Group with the University of Oviedo and Stanford University in different research and development projects. It aimed to be one of the first First Person Shooters with photo-realistic graphics made in Spain, and slated to hit next-gen systems (PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360). There has been no more information about the game since its announcement, and it is now considered to be vaporware.
On 6 October 2008, Virtway entered into a partnership with ICYou, a Swedish company, to further develop their Interactive City platform, a persistent virtual world with tie-ins to the real world of its players through a blend of the virtual and real economy.
