Fusion Core Studios is a game design company located in Indianapolis, Indiana. Their first project is Heavy Gear: Dreadnoughts, a fleet-scale tabletop miniatures wargame. Set in Dream Pod 9's Heavy Gear universe, the game puts players in control of several landships, hovering fortresses that function as mobile bases, airfields, and weapon platforms. The focus is on large-scale operations occurring over several hundred kilometers, rather than the line-of-sight scale often seen in the genre.
The staff at Fusion Core Studios has long experience with game design and writing. The company's founder, Wunji Lau, has worked with Dream Pod 9 since 1995, helping shape their Jovian Chronicles universe and designing the Lightning Strike space-combat game.
