About 
Big Blue Sky Games

Dreams without limits. The belief in a better tomorrow. A ragtag team that never gave up. That’s Big Blue Sky Games. We know what we’re up against, and we’re excited to show the world just what is possible up here in the clouds.

 

What Makes Us Unique

From humble beginnings, we’ve built something special – a meaningfully diverse, distributed group of wildly talented game development professionals working to make games you want to play.

When you go to your favorite restaurant and ask the waiter to surprise you, knowing that everything on the menu is great, they’ve earned your trust. We want to do that with games – to build experiences so memorable, you’re coming back to try whatever else we cook up.

 

  • Balance. We believe that turnover and burnout are preventing rewarding careers in games – and, in turn, that the quality of games built by folks worried about losing their jobs or crunching constantly is lower than it would be if they felt empowered and protected. To that end, a primary driving motivation for us is to not only attract coworkers our ambitions speak to, but to work actively every day to provide stability for them and their families.

  • Diversity. Diversity and inclusion aren’t buzzwords for us. From day one, we’ve worked to diversify our staff – and while we’re proud of the significant representation we’ve achieved, we also recognize that work never ends.

  • Community. Our games are for everyone, and they’re built with real life players in mind. We want our games to be approachable for people of all ages and from all walks of life, whether you want to play for 20 hours straight (editor’s note: we do not recommend this) or can only play for 20 minutes.

 

The best is yet to come

Our unconventional squad of untraditional people is on a mission to relentlessly continue to earn your trust. We’re going to make incredible games with safe and welcoming communities, and that requires creating careers, not jobs, by growing our uniquely talented teammates over many years to come.

Upbeat, casual games for contemporary audiences, from a studio you trust to retain the folks traditional developers have passed over, and a company genuinely dedicated to compassionate, inclusive teams and communities – that’s us.
