Techland moves to a new office

[Omnistalgic]

That is a beautiful office.

What I wouldn't give to work in a modern office environment versus my call center style desk I work at now

Preach...

I work in a 14 story building. Us state employees have the worst 2-floors.
I look on with envy and sadness when floor 7 (I'm 8)folks get off and I get glimpses of marble floor and leather couches smh...

 

[MickZan]

A fantasy RPG huh? That sounds great!

 

[Villein]

good to see them going strong, loved them since Dead Island and they've only been getting better with each game.

 

[defaltoption]

Thats pretty freaking nice i wish i worked somewhere that had an office like that

 

[Storybook]

Game studios always have the nicest offices. They deserve such work environment with all the the crunch they deal with.

 

[Fevaweva]

How many people you think use that slide? Lol

Any new hires and no one else after a month or so.

By everyday employees? Rarely. There were a select few who had their offices on the floor it went to who remained enthused about the idea of using it after lunch (Bless their hearts; I hope no one ever takes that child-like glee from them). But the majority did it once or twice and then just went back to using their stairs (Which were often more conveniently placed).

But we did host an annual conference where people from outside of the company (Many buttoned up business folks) would end up doing it for the novelty, and seeing them do it was very entertaining. (Well, unless your office was near the outlet. Then you got very tired of hearing people yelling on the slide during that week.)

Sounds like when I worked at Rackspace. The end of the slide was a good distance away from any of the desks I worked at during my tenure there, but holy hell if it wasn't still easy to hear most of the time.

Techland has over 400 employees and they are working on both Dying Light 2 and a brand new Fantasy Open World IP.

I wonder if that's Hellraid, they've stopped the development but said it wasn't cancelled iirc

They confirmed it is not Hellraid.

Good for them, looks like an awesome office. Makes me want to reinstall Dying Light. Such an incredible game.

 

[Dust]

That slide goes straight to the crunch dungeon that opens exactly when game goes gold.

 

[PsyDec]

That's so coool.

What's this talk of Microsoft buying Techland, just a rumour?

Click to shrink...

Currently a rumour yeh, but this is all awfully suspicious. Rumours for ages of Xbox looking for a Polish studio, Dying light 2 suddenly delayed out of nowhere, now a massive upgrade to a swish office AND got rid of their publishing arm... Its almost like they got a sudden influx of money...

Also, fun fact, Techland have only published 1 game, and it was a game made by InXile, a studio now part of XGS.

Thanks Phil

What??

 

[Pyro]

Why do people waste money on offices with slides and shit

To keep devs happy when they are crunching.

Phil is only interested in cheap, small devs for quick AA output on gamepass. Their games actually sells unlike the recent MS purchases. This could be Tencent though

We will see 😉

Man I'd love to work in a place like that!

 

[Masterspeed]

You can tell it's a video game studio by the hip decor and slide.

 

[Igor]

Tbh it looks like a stock corporate/start-up office from hell. It has zero personality whatsoever.
