- Our Great Studio Migration! - 31 January 2025
2024 was a year in which our mighty developers haven’t been sitting still—quite the opposite. After months of exploring all the crooks and crannies of the vast terrain of Rotterdam, we have secured a beautiful and spacious new base in the booming city center! We are growing! Over the past year, our numbers have swelled, welcoming a host of talented and inspiring individuals to the fold. This is great news, but it did come with a downside. Our once-spacious studio at Schiehavenkade began to feel... rather snug. Long queues for the microwaves during feeding hours, overheated meeting rooms, and desks encroaching dangerously close to the entrance—a sure sign it was time to seek new territory. The best part: we have documented the entire move! We hold beautiful memories of the games we created in our old studio and can’t wait to see what magic unfolds in our new home. Curious to see where al…
