Sharkmob

Sharkmob is a game development company with studios located in Malmö, (Sweden) and London (UK). Our philosophy is simple. If we have fun working here, we bet gamers will have fun playing our games. Above all Sharkmob is a creative environment to develop games in, with true ownership and passion. We are fortunate to work with things we are passionate about and we have the privilege of creating entertainment for others to enjoy. We believe that if we have fun making games, people will have fun playing them. Fun is also about daring to do mighty things that allow us to reach levels of achievement we otherwise can't. All things said we want a fun, professional experience & so we all must lead by example. We want everyone to feel like they have a stake in the games we make. Our games are not the brainchild of a few people - we own them together. Everyone's contributions, opinion, and feedback matters. For this to work everyone needs to respect the big picture and high-level goals of the project. Shared ownership is at the heart of the Sharkmob adventure. We embrace a system of "disagree and commit". This means that we accept that we might not always get our way but we wholeheartedly support decisions we make as a team. Doing more with less and making an extra effort to find the optimal way forward is always valued. We rely on smart decisions to take us further than otherwise possible. Making games is kind of like rocket science; but harder!
