Description
Golden Gear is a Canadian game development studio made up of Andrew Traviss, Alex Bethke and Rosemary Brennan.
History
Brief OverviewGolden Gear was founded in 2010 by Alex and Andrew after they left Cryptologic Inc. where they were previously making card, table and slot casino games together. Golden Gear has worked with organizations and companies such as TIFF Nexus, Lionsgate Films, Fremantle Media, Kill Shakespeare, Social Game Universe, Bento Miso, Dames Making Games, TO Jam, Metanet Software and the Toronto After Dark Film Festival on a wide variety of projects. In October 2013 Rosemary Brennan joined the team as lead artist to assist with Fate Tectonics. Golden Gear splits their time between working on their own projects, providing development and design services to other studios and volunteering time in the local game development community.
Recent HistoryAfter assisting with the development of Pop Sandbox's Pipe Trouble and clearing the related controversy that project saw, Golden Gear has been focused on developing their own game Fate Tectonics and a new digital comic initiative. The first digital comics project they built was with the Dames Making Games organization and launched December 2013 for iOS as the DMG Swipe Comics Anthology. They are also working with local developer Christine Love to bring Analogue: A Hate Story to iOS.
