Games with large and / or open source SlimDX based

Are there any major titles or open source games based on the SlimDX infrastructure? I understand that this is most likely a shell on top of DirectX, but it would still be interesting to see that it is used in a mature environment.

I'm looking for some story behind the games: some retrospective views on how the structure was chosen, what were the pitfalls, etc.

I found the following on the official website:

SlimDX is currently robust, covers almost every multimedia API provided by Microsoft, and is stable enough to be used by commercial projects and companies, including several AAA gaming studios.

Several companies and products using SlimDX:

  • Spider-Man: The Net of Shadows
  • Zipper interactive
  • Lizardtech
  • Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.

PD: Vote only to inform me of this structure :)

AI War used SlimDX for a while until they switched to Unity. Chris’s original post about choosing a platform is here , and his subsequent API review after he switched to Unity is here .

(NB I am one of SlimDX developers)
