What We Do

Our Valued Clients
Our Team
We were founded in 2009 by a group of experienced software developers and engineers. Our game development team can bring your game to life from design to release and everything in-between, whether it's fixing bugs, building tools, creating 2D or 3D art, designing levels, constructing intuitive UI, and more.
Even as the studio has grown to over 200 employees, we always stay true to our philosophy of being a no-crunch studio guided by one simple principle: People First. We strongly believe that a team needs to be happy, healthy, and be free to have a life outside of the office to do their best. This attitude helped us to be named one of the Best Places to Work in Ottawa, Best Places to Work in Canada, and be the home to the Best Boss in Canada.
