They say the best ideas are born from chaos, and Yesterday, we truly embraced that! 😎 After returning from the Christmas break, our team dove headfirst into an epic in-person brainstorming session. The mission? To fine-tune every little design detail for Primal Rumble® while making sure every voice was heard. With markers in hand and a whiteboard ready for action, we dove into brainstorming mode and soon discovered... that our doodling skills could use some work!😁 Here’s a snapshot of Jamie Mullis in action during the session, contributing to some exciting creative discussions! 🖊️ Big thank you to HOST Salford, IN4 Group & MediaCity Immersive Technologies Innovation Hub for helping this be possible! What’s your team’s go-to strategy for brainstorming? Are you Team Whiteboard, Team Sticky Notes, or Team “Figure It Out in the Shower”? Let us know below! 👇

We need more exposure about topics like this in our industry… thank you Chris Bratt and Team PMG!

At Play XD, we couldn’t agree more with the inspiring message shared by Swen Vincke, the head of Larian Studios, during their speech at The Game Awards 2024! 🎮✨ We believe that great games are made when developers pour passion into every detail, focusing on delivering memorable and meaningful experiences for players. Sadly, the industry sometimes prioritizes cramming in features to drive revenue, rather than focusing on what truly matters... making the game enjoyable and engaging for players! For us, the creative process is at the heart of everything and we aim to craft games that spark joy for players and creators alike ❤️ https://lnkd.in/edEsq858 #GameDev #IndieDev #GameAwards2024 #PassionForGames

#ThrowbackThursday: Where It All Began 🚀 To celebrate the journey of Play XD and some of the incredible projects that laid the foundation for who we are today, we’re kicking off a series of #TBT posts with Exile: The Game! Developed in Flash back in 2005, Exile: The Game was a dungeon-crawling RPG that let players explore a world of myths, monsters, and daring adventures. Created by our founder Phil Goddard and a fellow developer Martyn Joyce in their spare time, it marked their first online commercial release, published by Miniclip!😁 The game achieved 3 million plays, a milestone that proved two passionate creators working out of a small house could make waves in the industry. If you would like to learn more about this project check out our website: 👉 https://lnkd.in/e-z9V6Eq 👈 And stay tuned as we share more throwbacks to the projects that shaped Play XD! #GameDev #IndieDev #FlashGames #GameDevelopment

Snapped a quick photo during today’s remote stand-up, and of course, everyone was made to smile for it (to their absolute delight 😅). At Play XD, we’re making great strides on Primal Rumble®, and even in the remote world, moments like these remind us how lucky we are to work together. We are serious about making great products, but we never take ourselves too seriously! 😁 (Also, shoutout to Jack Kirk, who got off lucky by missing the photo op today...don’t think we won’t catch you next time! 👀) #GameDev #IndieDevelopment #GameStudio #BehindTheScenes #DevLife
