Gamious is a Dutch video game developer and publisher founded in Haarlem, Netherlands, in February 2011.[1]

History

Gamious was founded in 2011 by Pim and Jos Bouman. They created a platform called the "Game Train" to collaborate with other game developers.[2][|permanent dead link|dead link}}] The Game Train enabled freelancing game developers to work with Gamious to create games.[3] Gamious would publish and market the game, and share the revenue with the developers. Gamious had a database of over 400 people working on 21 projects. Gamious eventually dropped the Game Train as they felt that it was too much for them and gave back the titles to their respective owners.

Some Game Train games were developed further, and became some of Gamious's early released Briquid and iO.
