ARB Studios is an interactive technology development company.
We are dedicated to the creation of the next generation cross-platform
3D engine and server technology. With our own in-house IP, we have
created a process for developing interactive technologies from large scale games to training simulations
with reduced overhead and predictable timetables.
Management
Aaron Boucher (Engine Architect)
With almost fifteen years of overall experience programming in C and C++,
Aaron's primary discipline has been in game programming. Also, Aaron has over
ten years experience with client server programming, having independently developed
first generation MMO FPS technology which was showcased in the PC title Endless Ages,
which maintained stability for three years under his supervision. With his expertise
comes a strong knowledge of openGL, DirectX, shaders, code based 3d math, skeletal systems
and cross platform development.
Alan Carter (Technical Art Director)
Alan Carter has been working in the game industry for 12 years. Over the years he has
worked with over a dozen of game engines and technologies in both large and small development houses.
His time spent in the industry placed him in the position to participate in all artistic aspects
of game development with a focus on art and its efficiency. Starting work in the industry with a
small independent development house taught him responsibility for the overall game.
Moving to a larger team taught him lessons in working effectively within a group, collaborating
on ideas, and sharing knowledge.
His primary duties at ARB Technology include, but are not limited to,
assisting in the development of a proprietary Technology Platform,
developing production pipeline policies and procedures, aiding
in the design of platform features, aiding in the quality assurance
of platform assets, developing art assets, preparing training material,
training staff in areas relating to the use of the platform and technical
art production, and communicating with the Lead Platform Architect / Developer.
