INDEPENDENT GAME DESIGN

Hidden Path Entertainment is an independent video game company established to create interactive entertainment software for current and future generations of video game consoles and computing platforms. Hidden Path is currently working on both independently funded and publisher-funded projects, developing fun and innovative titles for some of the most popular companies in gaming.

OUR STORY

We began our independent journey in Bellevue, WA in 2006, with a mission to create the game development company we had dreamed of working at ourselves.  There is great joy in creating games with a team of sharp, collaborative, and supportive people from different backgrounds and disciplines, all focused on the goal of entertaining players and creating fun for others while enjoying a healthy work-life balance.

OUR GOALS

We entertain players.  We want them to have fun and be delighted playing our games.  We want the people making those games to be able to give their best, collaborate effectively, and use their skills and talents to create the best entertainment that we can.  For the team to do this, we need to be honest, open, and transparent with each other and with our partners.  By setting the correct expectations, working together, and solving problems creatively, we can create the best possible path to continuously create great games, learn and improve, and entertain players together, game after game.

THE STUDIO

Hidden Path Entertainment has offices in Bellevue, Washington just outside of Seattle, with both in-office employees living locally and remote employees located across North America.  We collaborate in-person and online, and our job openings allow for remote work-from-home or relocation to the Pacific Northwest.

MANAGEMENT TEAM

Our management team includes industry veterans with more than 70 combined years of game development experience. We have contributed to best-in-class titles in multiple genres and on multiple platforms, including top game titles at Access Software, Ensemble Studios, IBM, Microsoft Game Studios, Sierra Online, and Virtual World Entertainment. Members of our management team have also worked as part of the Xbox, Xbox Live and Xbox 360 launch teams.
