Former GargageGames Developer Forms GameClay

Industry Veteran to Focus on AAA Solutions for Torque
Eugene, OR – September 15, 2009 – GameClay LLC today announced its formation. Using the award-winning Torque development platform, GameClay will provide affordable, AAA development solutions for Xbox 360 and PS3 developers.

Former GarageGames developer Pat Wilson, who has partnered with his former employer to bring Torque and other tools to major console platforms, founded the company.

“We’re really pleased to have Pat’s tremendous skills and talent continuing to push Torque forward,” said Brett Seyler, GarageGames’ Vice President of Business Development. “Pat not only knows the technology inside and out, but already has years of experience porting Torque technology and Torque-powered games to different platforms. This is a perfect fit for us and our licensees.”

Pat Wilson has been part of the Torque development team since before its public launch in 2001. Since then he has ported the best-selling engine to the Xbox and Xbox 360. All told, Wilson has developed nine Torque titles across six different platforms, including Xbox Live hit Marble Blast Ultra.

Announcing its official formation at the Austin Game Developers Conference in 2009, GameClay has quickly begun work on Torque products and tools for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. Wilson’s goal is to bring game developers the highest quality solutions for console development at an accessible cost. “Torque provides console developers with a proven technology to achieve next-gen results,” said Pat Wilson. “You don’t have spend seven figures or be in Mark Rein’s Rolodex to get your hands on world class development tools and technology.”

GameClay.com is now live and provides more information about GameClay products, documentation, and a link to GarageGames.com site where the engine and tools can be purchased.
