Gaslamp Games is a small independent company based out of Vancouver, B.C.  The company was  founded in 2010 by Nicholas Vining, Daniel Jacobsen, and David Baumgart. Dungeons of Dredmor, Gaslamp Games' first title, came out in July 2011 to critical acclaim and commercial success, and has led to three expansion packs: Realm of the Diggle Gods, You Have To Name The Expansion Pack, and Conquest of the Wizardlands. Gaslamp announced its upcoming title, Clockwork Empires, in the summer of 2012, with an estimated February/March 2014 release date.

Clockwork Empires sees the player taking on the role of a Junior Bureaucrat (Colonial Grade) in an alternative-universe, Victorian-inspired Steampunk civilization. Players must tackle the challenges of building a colony, and then running it into the ground, while being plagued by horrors from alternate dimensions.
