Description

Formed at the conclusion of 2011, Cognitive Forge is a small, independent software studio based in Victoria, Australia. As fellow gamers, we go by what's unique and fun to play, using our small-scale to become agile in delivering unique experiences that challenge the way you think.We constantly strive to deliver unique experiences with a focus on complex mechanical depth and obsessive polish.

History

Early history

Back in 2012 we made a game called Catapolt. Despite good reviews (e.g. from appreviewer and Kotaku) the game didn't sell enough to be sustainable so we made it free before taking to contract work in 2013-2014 to pay bills.

Aura of World's Project

We started work on our most ambitious project to date in 2013. A procedural generated platformer called Aura of Worlds. This has been in development for several years now, with constant refinement from developer meetups and public playtesting events. For example the game has been demonstrated at IGDA Melbourne, the Freeplay Festival, PAX 2015 and Mini Pax 2016. ... We are presenting at PAX again this year, in addition to launching a Greenlight campaign towards the end of October.
