About Hot Glue Games

Hot Glue Games was an independent video game development studio based in Kanata, Ontario, within Canada's National Capital Region. Established in January 2015, it focused on creating original, story-rich game experiences for PC and downloadable console platforms. Its work centred on proprietary intellectual property rather than commercial work-for-hire or consulting services.

The studio brought together developers, designers and artists across programming, production, game design, visual art and usability testing. Its development capabilities included 3D modelling, rigging, animation, stylized concept art and technical art, with Unreal Engine 4 forming the technical foundation of its principal project.

Development work

During 2015 and 2016, the team developed an unannounced, stylized top-down tactical game intended for PC and consoles. Portfolio material documents character and vehicle assets, destructible environmental elements and interactive dynamic props created for the project. The game combined tactical design with stylized visuals and vehicle combat, but it was never completed or commercially released. The studio also produced internal prototypes and did not ship any commercial video games.

Operating history

Hot Glue Games was active through late 2016 and early 2017. Staff began moving to other developers in autumn 2016, and operations had ceased by 2017. Its official website stopped receiving active updates after 2016, later displayed a construction page and eventually became an unclaimed domain page. The studio's documented work survives through archived company pages, conference records and former staff portfolios.
