OUR COMPANY
Blue Gear Games is an independent publisher of tabletop games based out of Dallas, TX. We will develop games for real enthusiasts that share the same passion and desires.
OUR MISSIONTo make games fun again. We all share the same passion for board games and that is to bring friends and family together.
OUR VISIONWe want to create a game that was the thing of past to be the thing of the future. We want players to engage in a game and when the game ends, there is a complete satisfaction and purpose.
- Being a Co-founder of Blue Gear Games, LLC is a passion that keeps my driving for success. We have 2 successful published games called Knights of Glory - Dungeon Crawl, Push-your-luck, Bluffing Game and Dino Dodge: Survival of the Fittest - a game of pushing your friends into hot lava while dodging falling meteors to be the last dinosaur standing.
- I played a lot of PC MMORPG fantasy type video games over the course of 17 years. Throughout my gaming years, I have observed and analyze how to extract in-game progression, illustrations, combat, UI interfaces, language & terminology, and mechanisms that attract customers towards these games. I utilize these aspects and apply them to story building from movies, and Tv series to then implement them in our boardgames to create a dynamic and refreshing games.
- Of course being quite busy and running a business can be stressful and a lot of hard work. Therefore, I always make sure my health is put above all. Fitness to me is a form of discipline for life. I live and breathe to stay in shape to excise my mine mentally and physically.
