TRICK GAMING STUDIOS LLC is an international videogame "boutique" with offices in Argentina and The United States. The company specializes in video game design, development, localization and quality assurance. [1]
History edit
TRICK was created in 2011 as the mobile and gaming department of Making Sense LLC.
After working on several successful projects, the department branched into a new independent studio, inheriting values and development practices from it’s parent company. [2]
Trick also helps run the Argentinean chapter of IGDA International Game Developers Association. [3]
Business model edit
TRICK's main income comes from working as an outsourcing partner on video game projects (and occasionally on Mobile applications). The company is divided in several departments, being the most notable: Engineering, Art and Music & Sound FX.
Part of that income is then used towards the development of in-house projects and original IPs. The Gnumies, one of the companies IPs, is slated for release in late 2014. [4]
