Other versions in more languages followed, and Owlient as of 2015 had games in 24 languages. Guth and Issaly ended their studies in 2006 in order to devote time to their company. Their first game, Equideow, which is the French version of Howrse, went online on the same day, as one of the first games to prominently use micro-transactions for funding. In 2005, two computer science students, Vincent Guth and Olivier Issaly, founded Owlient. It is a breeding simulation game with horses.
Howrse is a free-to-play browser game developed by French studio Owlient and currently published by Ubisoft.
