We’re a tight-knit, passionate team of JRPG fans working on bringing the best of the genre to everyone!
We are each other’s cheerleaders - we support and celebrate each other’s work and achievements in and out of the studio. And that’s reflected in the Platinum Rule: we treat others as they want to be treated.
That’s why we have a no crunch! policy, make people-first decisions when it comes to studio culture, and operate fully remotely to give everyone their best chance for a healthy work-life balance.
We welcome and value the presence and contributions of people regardless of their gender identity and/or expression, sexual attraction, age, culture, abilities, ethnic origin, marital status, nationality, race, religion, education, or socioeconomic status.

Strive to attract, hire, develop and retain team members in a fair and equitable manner
Understand that some traditionally have greater barriers to opportunity: we take these barriers into account in our recruiting and hiring practices, and strive to eliminate their impact

Embrace and strive to incorporate lived experiences
Are committed to training and educating our team
We acknowledge that the work of creating and maintaining a diverse and equitable workplace is never done. This statement reflects our aspirations, and we welcome feedback. We will make decisions with careful thought to our commitments above.
Our areas of focus include but are not limited to:
respecting experiences and expected etiquette
language usage - verbal and nonverbal
active listening
defining and enforcing verbal boundaries
