Gamefam is an American video game developer and is the first professional company to utilize Roblox as a video game development platform.
History[edit]
Gamefam was founded in 2019 in Los Angeles, California, United States by Joe Ferencz, the current CEO. Ferencz was originally involved with bringing Hot Wheels into the Forza series and Rocket League, and while doing so, he was watching Roblox's success as a free-to-play video game platform.[2] Explaining his reason for founding Gamefam, Ferencz told TechCrunch “Roblox truly is the metaverse for this younger generation. What that means is that each game needs to have a very distinctive and attractive immersion to it, in a way that mobile free-to-play doesn’t."[1] The company is described by Ferencz as the “first and only fully-dedicated, professional game publishing company on Roblox.”[3]
In November 2020, Gamefam partnered with Mattel to develop Hot Wheels Open World on Roblox, which is a Hot Wheels-themed open world racing game.[4][5]
Games[edit]
Gamefam's current games include:[6]
- Hot Wheels Open World, a licensed Hot Wheels open world racing game
- Little World, an insect adventure game
- PolyBattle, a first-person shooter
- Shoot Out, a western-themed third-person shooter
- Ultimate Driving, an open world racing game based in the Eastern United States
