A fair games industry, where creativity flourishes and collaboration leads to success.

Why do we exist?

The Games industry is a collection of creative individuals looking to build the worlds of their dreams, so that others can explore them. Often they are enabled by financiers who are looking to commercially benefit from the creation of these worlds. When these two groups are aligned in their endeavours, great works can be achieved and companies can flourish. Too often and certainly in recent years, the alignment of creative and corporate, player and shareholder have diverged.

The CoLab seeks to bring back this aligned approach to game development, seeking to furnish the long term aspirations of developer and investor alike.

OUR VALUES

  • All Collaborators understand that quality of delivery is the key to success. We apply this to the games we develop and publish and to the mechanisms we employ to enable this to occur. Budgets and timescales need to be monitored but they are flexible as required to enable the level of delivery expected

  • We work in a totally open and transparent manner, We hide nothing from each other unless mandated by law. We are tactful with our communication while maintaining the honesty of our message. We examine our decisions without rancour or fault, with all parties keeping in mind that the quality of our collaborative outcomes is the key to our joint success

  • We collaborate with each other both within and between the development teams with the aim of aiding the success of all Collaborators. Asking for help is not a weakness and will never be seen as such. We work where we can add value.

  • The way we work is just as important as the results we achieve. We work with kindness as our foundation. In all our work we act with kindness first and foremost, this means we treat each other and all concerned with empathy, we assume the best of intent in others and we work with a friendly, generous and considerate attitude.
