Our Core Values
Build Together
We know making video games takes a diverse team of people from different disciplines. We also know it genuinely takes more than that. Collaboration, respect, ownership of work and honest discussions within the team help bring games to the next level.
Be Daring
Don't be afraid to take chances in everything you do. Speak up if you have something important to say. Push your work to the next level and don't settle for mediocrity.
Nurture Curiosity
Seek out knowledge, try things you feel would push the game to another level, brainstorm your ideas often with others and most importantly, create with passion.
Have Fun
While this may sound like an obvious thing to say, truly having fun making the games you also like to play within a positive work environment is important to us. Great games experiences come from teams of people who enjoy working on them together.
