Running a 21st Century Games Studio.
summary
Stores reveal concrete moves: shipping Alba Wildlife Adventure (Dec 2020) with ~30 people, running a buddy system and weekly “teas at threesies,” sending care packages and even goats on Zoom, and using Miro and Discord for remote whiteboarding and creative channels. Teams run a two‑month twice-a-week experiment for clustered studio days, equip staff with laptops and hot‑desks, adjust schedules for time zones, and use a calendar plug‑in to carve focus time. Expect hiring across UK, US and EU and hybrid tradeoffs to shape retention and pay.
