Neko Entertainment was a French video game developer and publisher located in a suburb of Paris, France. It was founded in 1999. Neko's productions are based on an evolutionary development platform for 3D consoles called the Neko Game Development Kit which allows the company to simultaneously develop games across all platforms and to rapidly port existing games. The company's name is derived from the Japanese word for "cat" and their logo was an animated cat. The company ceased operations in May 2017.
