About the Customer:
Have you ever noticed that breakthrough technologies are in the news almost every day, but the way you work hasn’t changed all that much? The Customer wants to do more than just notice innovation when it comes to making games. They welcome technologies that remove obstacles and help them to tap into their true creativity. Why participate in mindless pixel-pushing when you can use machine learning or proceduralism to turn your vision into reality? Doing something unpredictable and exciting is at the core of the Client.

It’s the reason their studio was founded with a talented team, a blank canvas, and endless possibilities. It’s a place where it’s okay to make mistakes—because they take risks, and they all keep learning. Finding clever ways to use technology and automation is just the start for them; they are working on making breakthroughs of their own. By empowering more people to create, they believe games will become more captivating and more diverse, allowing for experiences that come directly from all of us, instead of a select few.
