Forging a path of its own, Golden Feather Studios is VGW’s very own in-house games studio, captivating players with an innovative, interactive experience from the very first click. The desire to create world-class games, offering players exclusive experiences found solely within VGW’s brands, drove the development of Golden Feather Studios. To accomplish this, a clear vision, creative approach and player-centric strategy were employed from the get-go, and proved instrumental in building and growing what would be one of the company’s biggest success stories.
The Story
Vice President of Golden Feather Studios, Tina, has been with VGW since 2013, initially joining as an Art Director. Tasked to build a dedicated team of experienced industry professionals from the ground up, Tina got to work sourcing and assembling a hand-picked team of artists, animators, game designers, producers, and technical artists. The goal? To create original, unique games that would be top-performing and well-received by players. To achieve this, the team had to be not only the best in the industry, but also creative thinkers who pushed the boundaries in design to create a suite of never-before-seen products that players loved.
Tina describes Golden Feather Studios’ uniqueness as a fusion of unwavering spirit and creative vision. “Over the years, Golden Feather Studios has grown from its humble beginnings into a powerhouse of creativity and innovation within VGW. All of us collaborate together as we design and build each game, with everyone’s ideas and input heard and welcomed.”
It’s not just in spirit that Golden Feather Studios has grown over the years, but in size, too. “Golden Feather Studios has evolved significantly, starting out with just two artists, one game designer, one audio director and one engineer,” Tina explains.
Fast forward to present day and the team has morphed into a formidable group of creatives – 17 of them, in fact – complemented by a talented cohort of internal engineers and a quality control team. Covering a vibrant assortment of disciplines, Golden Feather Studios’ specialist areas include art, animation, game design, audio engineering, production, and technical development. The requirement for the breadth of experience yet niched talent within VGW means the career opportunities are endless and ever-evolving, positioning VGW as an employer of choice and a place where careers go to flourish and thrive.
“At the heart of Golden Feather Studios lies our dedication to assembling a team of individuals who are not only passionate but also deeply committed to their crafts,” Tina explains of the culture which was woven into the fabric of her first team many years ago. The team pride themselves on fostering an environment where creativity thrives, resulting in the crafting of polished games that promise an unparalleled, interactive game experience.
