Outrage went on to develop Descent 3, while Volition moved on to develop the space combat game Descent: FreeSpace – The Great War (1998), growing to around 20 employees during its development. After the release of Descent II (1996), the two founders split the company, with Toshlog moving to Michigan with some of the employees and founding Outrage Entertainment, while Kulas remained in Illinois and renamed the company to Volition. The company grew to eight employees while developing its first game, the first-person spaceship shooter Descent (1995), which was released to widespread acclaim. It was founded in 1993 by programmers Mike Kulas and Matt Toschlog as Parallax Software. Volition is an American video game developer located in Champaign, Illinois.
