Studiotypes

You've heard us talk a lot about Compulsion Games. 📣 And for very good reason, too. This partnership has been #career and company defining for the majority of us at Studiotypes over the last 5 years. The partner of dreams, you might say. 🖤 In our first of hopefully many more #casestudy posts we intend to share, we feel it's important to dive into the highlights, achievements and even the data of what value we've been able to add to #gamedevelopment studios when we get the opportunity. Talking about #jobs is pretty easy. Being able to share the challenges we overcame and the impact we made is where it counts. 💪 Our humble beginnings with Compulsion began with ad-hoc email exchanges and sharing speculative talent with Guillaume back when they were mid way through dev on We Happy Few, and still an #indiedev. We clicked, our relationship began to blossom, and shortly after shipping their 2nd game to a very warm reception, Xbox Game Studios Publishing came along and announced they were acquiring the studio. 💥 A number of hires later, Michael Elliott Chan, CHRP CRHA joined the fold and with a growth plan in place to get the studio to 90 people, we got to work. How can we sum up some of the best bits? ✅ #CoopMode started with Compulsion Games, and is still going 3.5 years in ✅ We've hired over 80 people in just over 5 years, with 63 people since in coop ✅ We visited Montreal for the first time in 2023, finally meeting folks in the flesh ✅ Besides headcount growth, we continue to support the People/HR needs ✅ 'South of Midnight' has so far won two Clio awards, and is one of Xbox's most anticipated upcoming releases... We want to say thank you again to Michael, Guillaume Provost, Delilah Robinson, Geneviève Forget, Whitney Clayton and all of the wonderful people at Compulsion Games (too many to tag here) for the support, trust and belief in our work over the years. It's been a ride! #gamedev

Take a look at our Coop #CaseStudy for the work we did with ustwo games. Diving into the work by Victoria Sinikliyski, Joe Palin and the rest of the team did here helps us reflect on the impact and added value working with a more integrated Talent Partner can have on your hiring efforts.

Last month marked 10 years since the iconic Monument Valley was revealed to the World by our good friends and partners at ustwo games. 👏 The beautiful Escher-inspired, mechanically designed world that redefined the puzzle genre in many ways, went on to win multiple awards and set a new bar for what premium #mobilegames could be. Many copycats followed, but it also turned out to be the project that spawned what the studio is today. This article on GamesIndustry.Biz captures the story nicely. As Daniel Gray puts it; "[It's] not just a story about Monument Valley, it's a story about the company – because the entire company got built around what worked." With our very own Victoria Sini as their dedicated Talent Lead, we're so proud to be part of their journey. Here's to 10 more years! 🥂 #gamesindustry #partnership #recruitment
