Epic Games has acquired scripting tool maker Agog Labs for an undisclosed price. The deal — the second in a day for Epic — will add new tools talent and give developers a strong community-supported plugin for Epic’s Unreal Engine 4 platform.

The Victoria, Canada-based Agog Labs said in a blog post that it will cease active development of SkookumScript, a scripting solution and command console used for staging events in video games. But the team will work on “exciting new projects” with the Unreal Engine team, which makes one of the most popular platforms for creating games.
