How is your management structure arranged? Do you have lead artists, project managers, etc?
Project management is handled by our producer. The producer is responsible for the timeliness and quality of every delivery. The producer has two key resources: the technical manager and the art director. The technical manager performs all technical checks to make sure the work conforms to the specifications of the client. He also writes tools and plugins to systematically assist the production. The art director is responsible for ensuring the art quality is of deliverable level.

No objections. In fact we regularly create our own tool sets to support the art production by improving productivity and maintaining high-quality service.

How would you describe your office and working environment?
Glass Egg's physical environment is on par with any game company in the US or UK. In terms of our corporate culture, we place a strong emphasis on open and collegial communications; and to completing work to impeccable standards and achieving complete client satisfaction rather than adhering to a strict set of rules. We believe that our people are ultimately our most valuable resource. We value the insights and ideas of everyone on our production teams, regardless of their experience or background. We value the diversity of people and their unique perspectives while at the same time ensuring that decisions are made and the work gets done.
