The Team

 

We consider one of our most significant successes to be the support of our team, our continued opportunities, and our company values of inclusivity, communication, and mental/emotional wellness. We approach our work with diligence and our coworkers with kindness, making games we’re incredibly proud of and that our players will love. Our studio strives to harness the best of gaming from both the production and the playing sides, and is excitedly looking forward to the future with our growing team.
