About Game Mechanic Studios
Game Mechanic Studios is an independent American video game developer based in Los Angeles, California. Founded in December 2008 by veterans of Electronic Arts Los Angeles and Activision, the studio combines development of original games with engineering, art production, and co-development services for other developers and publishers. Its work spans console, PC, mobile, and virtual reality platforms.
The studio offers full-cycle game development alongside focused support for larger productions. Its programming capabilities include gameplay systems, dynamic lighting, 3D physics, navigation-based artificial intelligence, and occlusion culling. Art services encompass concept design, 3D modeling, character and environment animation, technical art direction, and asset preparation. The team works with Unreal Engine and Unity, supporting projects through development, optimization, and cross-platform delivery.
Original games and virtual reality
Game Mechanic Studios developed and published Wizards: Wand of Epicosity, a tower-defense and action-strategy game released in August 2020 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store. Its original projects also include the fantasy-adventure title Happy Trails and the Kidnapped Princess and early mobile and interactive titles Matter and Art of War.
Its virtual reality work includes No Way Out: A Dead Realm Tale, a horror adventure developed in partnership with 3BLACKDOT and Blind Wink Productions. VR and XR development form part of a broader practice that also encompasses conventional console and PC games.
Co-development and technical support
The studio has contributed additional development, programming, technical art, and engineering support to external productions. Reported credits include Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2, The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners, WWE 2K18, NBA 2K16, and Fast & Furious: Spy Racers - Rise of SH1FT3R. Its publisher and production relationships include Activision, 2K Games, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, and GameMill Entertainment. These assignments complement its original game development and publishing activities.
