Come and Make: AAA games that push the boundaries

gamesindustry.biz:

There's an exciting new AAA game studio that's growing rapidly in Leamington Spa and already picking up awards.

Lighthouse Games is a new development team set-up by Gavin Raeburn, the co-founder and former studio head of Forza Horizon developer Playground Games.

The team is keeping quiet about the game it's looking to build at the moment (it is still early days), but it is working hard on establishing a strong culture so it can create something truly AAA, that lives up to the team’s legacy of creating highly polished and technically ambitious video games. In an interview with GamesIndustry.biz earlier this year, the studio also revealed it's building its own tools and pipelines in order to create something unique and different to what exists in the market today.

And the work it is putting in is already paying off. Just yesterday (September 27th), we revealed that Lighthouse Games is one of the UK's best places to work, winning a badge during one of the most competitive years in Best Places history. It’s a fantastic achievement.

So we caught up with the team to ask them what they feel makes the studio such an exciting place to be even at this early stage.
