Innerloop Studios ( abbreviation Innerloop ) was a Norwegian development studio for computer games that existed from 1996 to 2003.

The company was founded as Innerloop Technologies in May 1996 by a group of former employees of the Oslo-based video game company Funcom . After entering into a partnership with video game developer and publisher Eidos Interactive , Innerloop merged with DiMaga Studios in 1997 and changed its name to Innerloop Studios to reflect the merger. In the fall of 2000, the Swedish electronic entertainment company Vision Park acquired the studio. In 2002, Innerloop became an independent company again before closing in June 2003. Failing to raise capital to create future titles, the company eventually decided to close the studio.

The number of employees in the company ranged from 15 to 25 at various times during the company's entire existence.

Innerloop was well known for its graphics software , which was first shown in the Joint Strike Fighter flight simulator . With the exception of the sports game Sega Extreme Sports for Sega Dreamcast , Innerloop chose only personal computers for the development , because in its own opinion the graphics technology on game consoles would not work without significant performance degradation.

Co-founder Henning Rokling was the company's managing director until the studio ceased operations in 2003. In addition to working with Eidos Interactive, Innerloop also worked with Infogrames , Sega , Empire Interactive and Codemasters .
