HotGen is a British game developer founded by Fergus McGovern, the same person who founded Probe Software. Like Tose, they are a "ghost developer" because most of the time, they would not put staff credits or credit themselves in their games. Usually if their games had credits, it would be for the game publishing team.

Games

Music Development

Game Boy Color

On their prototype of Resident Evil, Mark Cooksey wrote music using Notator for Atari ST and converted his MIDI files to his own sound driver.

Their later titles (starting with Uno) used MusyX, a sound tool by Factor 5. Most of their games was composed by Luke Smith.

On Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, Brimble used QuickThunder, a sound driver by Michael Delaney.

Game Boy Advance

Their early titles used modified version of QuickThunder, a sound driver by Michael Delaney.

On Medal of Honor: Infiltrator, Brimble arranged Michael Giacchino's music from Medal of Honor: Allied Assault on Fasttracker II and converted his files to Logik State's GBAModPlay sound driver, which developed by Paul Carter.

Jakks Pacific TV Games

On SpongeBob SquarePants, Delaney wrote music in assembly. Starting from Batman, he, Hubbard, Brimble and Putson wrote music on Fasttracker II, from there they would convert them over to unSP Assembly and make final tweaks to each song, then they would be assembled for the final game.
