History

The Spigot engine appears to have been developed for their second game, Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee (Gamecube, 2002). The June 3rd, 2002 copy of Pipework's Gallery page calls the engine Spigot, confirming the name.

It was expanded and ported to multiple platforms, being used as late as 2012 (Wheel of Fortune for the Wii U) by Pipeworks, and 2014 by external developers (Colossal Kaiju Combat: Kaijuland Battles, by Sunstone Games)

Other software

at least Wheel of Fortune (2010, Wii) has a separate engine called "RockNRoll" which appears to be used for collision/physics.

It also uses the Fonix middleware for speech (recognition or lip-syncing?), and FMOD for audio playback. Videos are encoded in the THP format.
