Microgaming is using ICE Totally Gaming to introduce Triple Edge Studios, the first of a new generation of independent game studios to launch over the coming year as producers of specialised and exclusive content. Design lead Brendan Walton gave iNTERGAMINGi an exclusive interview on plans for the coming year, including branded title Playboy Gold.

INTERGAMINGi: Triple Edge is a new studio providing content to Microgaming – tell us about your studio. BW: We are an independent studio supplying exclusive online gaming content to Microgaming. A group of like-minded people, we are a team of innovators constantly exploring new and original ways to embrace and harness technology to perfect our craft of developing online slots. We are a relatively new studio, so we believe we can bring fresh and creative ideas to the table. Our game portfolio includes Halloween, Sugar Parade and Oink Country Love, and we are officially launching our studio brand at ICE at ExCeL London with our showstopper Playboy Gold, due out March 2018. We are incredibly excited about this game.

What is it like working for Triple Edge and what sort of environment is it? What makes our studio so great is that we have a really diverse group of employees. The team are a talented bunch all working towards a common purpose and goal: to create quality games, fine-tuned to multiple platforms and devices. A number of us bring great experience and vast knowledge of gaming, having worked with some of the biggest names in the industry, creating many popular and commercially successful games. This level of expertise is invaluable as we look to challenge the competitive online slot market. But of course, we also employ staff with experience in very different industries who bring new and refreshing perspectives on processes and technology. For example, we have team members who have worked for video game companies, movie studios, in the robotic industry, defence and even NASA. The atmosphere in the studio is relaxed and casual. We work incredibly hard but we have a lot of fun doing so. Microgaming were the first to develop online gaming content and have built the largest portfolio of games in the marketplace. How has it been working with them in this new relationship? To be working with Microgaming, the trailblazer in the online gaming industry, having developed the very first online casino in 1994, is brilliant. Through Microgaming and Quickfire, with over 700 online brands on their books, we know our content is going to be live with the bulk of industry operators. What’s also fantastic is that we can utilise their experience and expertise, as they have been around in the industry from the very beginning and we can learn a lot from them.
