We're a small team of developers that bring a diverse set of skills and ideas to the table. Our vision is grounded in the previous experience of our founders, in Social Work, Environmental Advocacy and Digital Design. We have a unique vision for our work and strive to create entertaining games with meaningful messaging that have the power to inspire change.
We’re dedicated to hiring young, diverse, and emerging local talent to help craft our games. Developing Trash has provided us with the opportunity to expand our team with immensely talented Victorian and Australian developers. Our team consists of a unique mix of creatives, with whom we share our vision for creating meaningful & beautiful games. We firmly believe in creating opportunities for those who might not have had access to the industry before, and are passionate about supporting our team to develop themselves both as individuals & as a team.
It’s important to us that services we provide are worthwhile and align with our values. We love to connect with communities who share this passion and are excited by the concept of play. We create ambitious games that are grounded in our favourite genres & expertise. We strive to develop unique aesthetics, features and opportunities for play and believe that indie game developers play an important role in taking risks and creating unique games, pushing the medium to grow.
