There are over 150 of us here now. Some are veterans, with years of experience & AAA projects on their accounts. Others are newbies, who used to play our games few years ago and now they want tobe a part of the team. We like different things, play different games and spend our free time in various ways. And you know what? That’s perfectly fine, because despite all those differences, we haveone thing in common. We want to create games, that will leave a mark. Not another F2P clone of one time smash hit or some repetitive, yet profitable endless sequels, because we don’t look at the world through excel sheets and columns. Insteadwe want you to feel proud of what you are doing– both today and in five years, no matter where you will be then.
