Business outlook
Pros
- Excellent company culture - Huge potential to grow and develop if you're proactive - Real lust for developing narrative focussed games - TCR parties, evening chill and event days - Sumo company benefits (learning days, duvet days, SDC)
Cons
- Expensive in Brighton - Production team and project management lacks experience and it shows in Bloodlines 2 - Seemingly random promotions - Cultural shift after Dan Pinchbeck left - Needs much stronger Art and Game Directors - Unbelievable level of crunch on Bloodlines as core-team spread even thinner than buttery thin (i,e. whole departments can literally just be one or two people. Great for ownership and agency, terrible for work-life balance)
