BATFA Winner: OlliOlli: Best Sports Game 2015
After seriously considering whether we ever wanted to make another game, we set about radically changing the way we worked. No crunch and a positive work life balance were the foundation to our plans and it led to the companies' most successful period; culminating in our highest rated game ever and eventual acquisition by Private Division in 2021. This talk will detail, the how, what and why of how we achieved it.
