Company Tour: Sifteo

Experience:

    Visiting Sifteo was interesting just to see how things worked in a company that was not the traditional triple A. Much like our own labs their studio was one open space filled with computers so everyone could communicate when they needed to. Though sometimes, they said, finding their own Sifteo cubes in the crowd could be work.

• Very laid back environment

• Play testing is between people in the office and from outside sources

• Anyone can suggest a game idea

    We got to play a couple of their games as they always like outside feedback. It was easy to see that they carriedvery much about games being a very social thing. When you play with the cubes you can't just play alone. We got to play Sandwich Kingdom as well as a game that was still in testing. They explained to us how they went about testing the games based on the way people in the company reacted to them as well as what happened when they brought outside people in.
