Hey!
My memory of this is imperfect and I joined as the project was already underway, but I believe there were two companies, yes.
The main POC at the second company that got the project completed was Rebecca Heineman [1] from Contraband Entertainment; my job was facilitating comms and help manage and organise the beta testing. I also built the installer.
I _believe_ that yes, Rez was created specifically for this. All EV modders know that the resource fork part of files was a critical part of how EV data files, and all mods, worked. There was a huge dependency there, and so I think the decision was made to create Rez to fill that gap. However, that is the extent of my knowledge.
