It’s all about the talent

And we have bags of it. We are truly blessed with hard working men and women who are passionate about what they do and strive to make every project the best that it can be. Our talent pool is the most formidable in the industry despite being a young company with most staff firmly of the digital age.

We don’t outsource development.  We don’t ship the work off to some far away land and pray it comes back good – no! We all work together as a team – project manager, programmers, artists, designers all sitting side by side, all pulling together as a cohesive unit.

We do bring in specialist talent and subject matter experts to fulfil the requirements of projects. This allows us to provide our partners and clients with outstanding results everytime.

it’s all about the client

Pick up the phone to anyone who has ever commissioned work with us and ask, ‘What did you think of working with PlayGen?’

PlayGen far exceeded our expectation in terms of quality, support and timeliness of delivery

would be the norm. Occasionally they may go as far as saying that we’re good friends as well.

We are devoted to our clients. We go the extra mile. Its important to us that our relationships are as good as they can be – and that is where we are blessed once again – with great clients that give us the space to really push the development and application of technologies to a whole new level.

• We deliver on-time. We are technology agnostic, so you will get the best of what’s available.
• We have over 100 years combined experience in developing simulations and games between us.
